IT Band help needed..

Irritated it slightly on a bunch of single-legged stuff at the knee, but really pissed it off at the hip after a marathon softball tourney earlier this week.
Lower body stuff is out until I get it fixed.

Any previous surgeries or other issues with it? Do you foam roll And stretch it regularly?

First time ever.
I’ve been battling knee tendinitis in the L-knee for a while. I’ve never had IT band issues.
I do need to stretch and foam roll more often, though.

Foam rolling and stretching are huge for your IT band. Go on Instagram and search “IT band”. You will find a crap load of good exercises and stretches to do for it.
Do you have any lower back pain or sciatica? It can be related to IT band issues. If so, look for stretches and exercises for those too.

You literally cannot stretch your IT band. You can stretch the muscles that insert in and around it and relieve a small about tension that way. TFL is one of the only useful stretches but even that research is limited and unlikely to help long term.
Your biggest problem when IT band issues crop up is usually a combination of overuse, usually due to muscular weaknesses at the hip and knee. Glute med is probably is a weak arse muscle on you and you’re compensating. Possibly glute max as well. You need to strengthen these.
It’s also possible your shoes are the culprit. Or your running/gait cycle isn’t efficient.

I just hit key points at the knee and hip with my LED device.
Will do it again this evening.

Yeah I had some pain in the arse IT band issues for a while and it was posterior muscle imbalance that I was compensating for caused by a long ago injured ankle. Stretching made it 'feel' better but I could never get it to go away until I realized the muscle imbalance.

You could always find a PT that will do an IT Band release with a tool. I heard it hurts like hell though.

No such thing in the PT world exists, unless you’ve been going to hokey PTs.
The only IT Band release you’re liable to get is from an Ortho Surgeon.

Manual Therapy is a fricking placebo joke to keep non-compliant patients coming to therapy.
And Graston tools are mostly overpriced bullshite along with the CEUs for the IASTM.
And your first linked video isn’t even the IT Band.
You aren’t doing a damn thing massing a thick, fibrous piece of meat like the IT Band.

With IT band, sometimes it could be the quad thats tight. Foam roll the outside edge of the quad and see if it helps.
