Daily habits such as how much you sit and how you hold your posture can impact your hip for instance. Do you have a history of lower back pain or a bad fall on your tailbone? Do you have flat feet and/or collapsed arches? Your glutes may not be firing properly or in the correct order. You may distribute your weight unevenly causing more wear and tear on one hip versus the other. Or perhaps you lack flexibility and strength where needed. Even restrictions in your large intestine could play a factor in your hip tightness.

The iliotibial band, more commonly known as the IT band, is a long and thick fibrous structure that attaches from the TFL muscle and the gluteus maximus muscle on the top of the hip, and down the side of the knee. The structure helps to give the gluteus maximus muscle leverage and also helps to support the outside of the hip and knee. Although the structures and exercises are great, you should find out why you feel you have a tight IT band in the first place. Do you simply lack a regular stretching routine? Do you have weak hip/pelvic stabilizer muscles? Do you have a combination of both? Regardless of the answer, it is recommended that you seek out an appointment with your local manual osteopath for a full assessment to make sure the body is in proper alignment.
