TFL Technique
Added 2022-11-18 18:06:20 +0000 UTCHey Bros,
The TFL (tensor fasciae latae) is a thick band of muscle at the top of your IT band (image attached). It's often suuuuper sensational, because it's underutilized by those of us who sit a lot. In the sitting position, it's shortened and either just slack, OR...it's tense because we're sitting at our laptops stressin' and clenching those hip flexors without realizing it.
My friends who have the tightest TFLs have little ability to internally rotate their femur bone (this stretch/test is in the technique vid above) and that lack of mobility most certainly leads to tension and problems elsewhere.
So what's your TFL feel like?? Let's find out today!
Love,
Maggie
