Training for your upcoming marathon and feeling heavy in the hips?
Your TFL and Vastus Lateralis (the outer quad) are working overtime to stabilize every single stride.
If these get “glued” together, your hips feel locked and your knees start to tweak.
In this session, we’re moving past basic stretching and getting deep into the tissue:
• Pinning the TFL while moving the hip to break up those deep adhesions that causes that IT band to feel locked up.
• Clearing the Vastus Lateralis to take the “pull” off the knee.
• Using the massage gun over the myomaster today as the glutes and TFL have more surface area to hit to flush the tissue and reset the nervous system.
The result? Better hip extension, fluid knee mechanics, and a much smoother gait for those long Sunday runs. 🛠️✨
