I rate the rumble roller along with LAX Ball rolling but the best thing I've done is look at mobilityWOD.com. Search 'desk bound', 'sitting' etc and you will find loads of videos. I've been picking one or two at a time and keep using those things which are effective for me.

I've had some IT band issues and I found somatics helpful. Here's a move specifically for the IT band, but a lot of the somatic moves are useful for other things (look around on the site). http://essentialsomatics.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-6813196831768166782012-02-27T19:20:17.293-08:002012-02-27T19:20:17.293-08:00Will invest in one this week.Will invest in one this week.Paul Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352715396075897963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-12292206592650451672012-02-27T19:15:58.377-08:002012-02-27T19:15:58.377-08:00Ya Paul i'm gonna agree with 1369 Phil about t...Ya Paul i'm gonna agree with 1369 Phil about the rumble roller, i got one a couple months ago and it's amazing. the first few times using it, it hurts just to put your weight on it but it grinds shit out like none other.

Then it seems to become one bad deadlift day after another, where my performance will actually regress. At this point I'll drop the weight back a bit and cycle back up to that range, only to hit the same wall again. 400+ for reps Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-40225208441188068302012-02-27T16:06:02.354-08:002012-02-27T16:06:02.354-08:00Foam roller on the IT band - surely PVC or a rumbl...Foam roller on the IT band - surely PVC or a rumble roller would hit the spot better ?1369philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-40647098784129396112012-02-27T11:45:59.526-08:002012-02-27T11:45:59.526-08:00Chalk it up to a bad day man.Chalk it up to a bad day man.Paul Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352715396075897963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-47677226438408316572012-02-27T11:41:09.087-08:002012-02-27T11:41:09.087-08:00Hi Paul, what do you think about this?
