INSTRUCTIONS
Lie on your side in a plank type position with the roller under the top side of your thigh, with one leg supporting you weight. Start by rolling up and down 10cms in one section at a time for 30sec or so, then move down to a new section. You can also roll forwards and backwards on the thigh to catch the back and front of the ITB and quadriceps muscle connections. Put one leg on top of the other for added pressure to increase the mobility work.

SPECIAL NOTES
Note this releases tightness in the ITB and lateral quad, but usually the cause is up in your hips / glute area so make sure you are addressing weakness and tightness there as well.
