    Will - my wife and I have adopted a number of your suggestions and they have been very effective. We've both been doing the isometric wall sits and planks for blood pressure control and have been able to see the significant improvement. We're also doing the calf raises you spoke about recently to strengthen our calfs so we can walk at a brisk pace. We've also been doing several of your exercises for balance. Thanks very much. FYI, I'm 74, my wife is 70 and we live in Manhattan. Keep up the great work. Thanks very much.

    To me the IT band is the single most evil thing in the world.

    Hello! I had a meniscus repair 2 years ago. Since then I’ve had pain that moves around. Starting with IT Band pain on the opposite knee, hip pain, lower back pain (all on the rt side), and now hip pain again WITH continued lower back pain. In 2 days I’m having my 3rd injection on my hip in 2 years. Yes, I did PT for 8 months. QUESTION: I have a bunion on that same side that only causes rubbing pain from certain shoes. When I went to a Feet Store, my rt foot lit up Like a Christmas tree. Could that be interfering with the healing of my rt side? Thanks for your info!!! Vicky

    A very informative video, as this is the first-time hearing of the IT Band. You only ever hear of the hamstrings or quads in the thigh area.

    Believe me, that ITB HURTS! I'm a cyclist...and that ITB pain can keep me up all night.

    Oh!! I also have severe itching on my outer thigh, same side, for weeks at a time. Dermatologist didn’t see a thing except scratching trama. My orthopedic said it’s from the nerves. So frustrated! Thx, Vicky, age 65

    I have that massage gun - it’s fantastic! Fits in the hand, isn’t too heavy - way better than the various larger ones I have purchased prior
