Overview
Iliotibial band self-myofascial release (SMR) is a self-administered soft-tissue treatment for the lower body, usually using a foam roller or other 'trigger point' massage tool. By applying pressure strategically to the IT band along the side of the upper leg, some people find they can cause this often painful and tight area to relax or 'release.' IT band SMR is often accompanied by SMR on the glute or quad muscles, or by stretches that target the glutes or quads.

Variations
Variations of fitness exercises refer to different ways of performing a specific exercise or movement to target various muscle groups, intensities, or goals. These variations aim to challenge the body differently, prevent plateaus, and cater to individuals with varying fitness levels.
Alternatives

These alternative exercises can be used as substitutes when the original exercise is unavailable or challenging to perform due to various reasons such as equipment limitations, injuries, or personal preferences.
