How to use a massage gun on tight IT bands
Estimated read time 2 minutes.
IT Bands run along the outside of the leg from the hip to the knee and shinbone and can become tight or inflamed with overuse during running or any form of exercise that requires repetitive exertion in the legs. IT band massage can provide relief.
The MuscleGun Carbon’s ability to promote increased local circulation will help relax and release tension to the area in need.
In addition to providing pain relief, performing this regular massaging technique with your MuscleGun will help maintain flexibility and also strength of the lower back and hips.
HOW TO MASSAGE TIGHT IT BANDS WITH MUSCLEGUN
We recommend using the Ball attachment with your MuscleGun set to speed setting two, gently applying the device with a small amount of pressure, starting from the top of the leg working downwards in a diagonal motion to just above the knee, repeating this for around 2 minutes each leg.
The repetitive strokes produced by your MuscleGun will quickly promote blood flow and oxygen to the area applied, in turn reducing tension, inflammation and pain.
