How it works: The IT band is a long group of fibers and fascia that begins at the top of the hip, and attaches to the knee cap and lower shin bone. Hip bursitis symptoms can be mistaken for common symptoms associated with low back never pain.

REPS: 2-4 reps. 20-30 second holds, 2-3 times per day

Typical Symptom Response:

Positive: Increase flexibility, no change in symptoms in the low back or low extremity
Negative: Increase muscle spasm in low back, buttocks, hamstring, or hip. Increase pain in low back, in the buttocks or the lower extremity
