This then creates a higher risk for ITB syndrome. So, I'm working on exercises to (as my son says) strengthen my a$$.



Perhaps I should adopt the name Phoenix



Given I was dealing with an overstretched band, the foam rollers turned out to actually make the situation worse. So, as mentioned above, I worked on the ole a$$. Actually it turns out the moderate hiking with a backpack is an easy way to engage these muscles. So, I took progressively longer, moderately paced, walks with a backpack.


Oh, yes, and a big thanks for all the well wishes. They truly are appreciated.
