A member asked:
If i foam roll my iliotibial band and it hurts to roll does that mean it was inflammed? or it normal to hurt

Depends: Foam rolls work great to provide a deep massage and it also forces you to stretch your muscles. Nonetheless, it tends to ache a bit after use that then resolves. The presence of inflammation is usually noted by pain before starting the exercise or foam roll plan.
