Did you know?
About 85% of all aches and pains in the body can easily be fixed yourself but most people continue to suffer, sometimes for years or decades, because they just don’t know how to do that?
Here’s the problem you face: you’ve got this issue in your out hips, or radiating down your outer thighs. Maybe the tension you feel shows up in your knee or your inner thighs. All you know is it hurts and it's getting in your way of doing the things you want to do, which may simply be to walk around the house without pain!
So you go to a doctor, physical therapist or skilled massage therapist. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't. Someone tells you to use a foam roller on your IT Band. It feels good in the moment but the pain always comes back.
IT Band pain can bring you down a rabbit hole of unhelpful therapies or reliance on someone else to fix you. Sometimes the therapies help for a while. Sometimes your symptoms actually get worse and you end up taking lots of ibuprofen or Tylenol, which can destroy your liver.
Luckily for you, there’s a simple solution. Let me introduce you to FreeBody Therapeutics.
FreeBody is a simple but highly effective system that transforms your body out of pain and dysfunction so you can get back to enjoying your life.

In the "IT Band Relief" course we will explore:
- WHY you have IT Band pain and how to prevent it.
- IT Band pain or IT Band Syndrome is what happens at the end of repetitive patterns you do. Learn what starts these patterns in the first place so you can prevent them for life!
- Effective and simple techniques that will be useful for years to come.
Easy foam rolling and self myofascial release practices so you can locate and release the exact location of tension causing your pain or immobility, and do it yourself. No more wasting time and money seeing therapists or waiting to get help when you have a problem. You can fix it yourself! (Balls are required for this part. You have the option to provide your own or purchase a few basic balls for the course.)
Targeted stretching so you can open up the short and stuck places in your body. You will know exactly where and how to stretch without wasting time on things that may make you feel worse or not help at all.
Movement breaks that you can incorporate throughout your day so you can free up your joints and easily gain more strength and mobility. These short breaks make it so that you don’t have to spend an hour every day on physical therapy exercises and you will move and feel much better!
Simple practices to build balanced strength in the muscles of the inner thighs, outer hips, quads, and hamstrings.
