ITB standing and bending stretches

Standing and bending stretches of the ITB are used. The positioning for each stretch involves placing the affected leg behind the unaffected leg, then advancing the hind foot so the toes of both feet are nearly aligned ("legs tightly crossed"). From this position, a stretch is created by gradually driving the hip of the affected leg towards it's own side. A stretching sensation should be appreciated over the ITB and lateral thigh of the posterior leg.
