TweetCant hang with the young ones anymore,lol. Do you have a foam roller? Try doing some rolling of the IT band. This area can hurt like hell when rolling but when it is tight, it can cause referred pain to the knee. Also roll, glutes, hips, hammys, quads, roll itall. It really does help and stop doing that crossfit stuff. It actually is know to cause more injuries than lifting, especially in older peeps

TweetWhat exactly is a foam roller?

google it man. take a look at the rumble roller also. i use the rumble almost every day for light deep tissue and to loosen up tight areas. basically it is a foam cylinder that you lay on and roll back and forth to break up tight areas and stuff like that. it is brutal but it does work if you suck it up and work through the pain. i never do legs or back without doing it before and later after.

TweetLooks like something I should try. I stretch after I workout but it dont help much any more.
