When you're noticing a tight IT band, you can often tell based on which parts of it are tight where the restrictions or instabilities are causing it. Typically, either the whole thing will be tight, or just the distal third. With tightness of the distal third, I look at fibular restrictions or adhesions between the knee and the ITB. With tightness of the whole thing, I look at instability of the hip and/or ankle. You can also find local restrictions anywhere along its length (eg adhesion to the quadriceps) that will create tension in only that specific area.

The tendon to the long head of the biceps sits in a dedicated groove on the humerus and is held in place primarily through shoulder alignment, but ultimately by the transverse humeral ligament. With faulty shoulder mechanics or injury, this ligament can lose its integrity and allow the tendon to come out of place. This can lead to a great deal of pain on the front of the shoulder. The best way to address this is by addressing the underlying postural and mechanical issues, paying special attention to the subscapularis (a rotator cuff muscle). The tendon can be put back in its groove manually as well. While typically not a lasting solution, it can provide a lot of relief. Here's a video of how to put the tendon back in. https://bdme.ch/55nA
