ITBS stopped my running and riding on March 25th. I started icing and stretching it that day. I followed basic ITBS practice for two weeks. I got a foam roller and started to use that. I decided to go through my Doc. and get some orthopedic help. They sent me to a PT. I have had 4 treatments and my leg feels much looser. I have been stretching and foam roller every day. I do not feel that dull ache during non exercise days. On April 30 I road low gear, easy spin, flat 30 miles. There was a lot of stop and waiting in the ride. I would stretch at these stops. That was Saturday, on Monday I had my 4th PT session. They are using ASMT Therapy. Since my legs are feeling looser, I thought I would try a run on Tuesday. I could only go 6 minutes.
Is all of this PT and foam roller work only keeping the ITB inflamed? Should I stop and do nothing for 30 days and then start the roller and stretching again? I am going to talk with the PT on Friday, but I like to go into these types of meetings with as much Info as possible.
