The hip pull across stretches the external hip and outside upper leg. The IT Band is connective tissue that runs from the pelvis to the outside of the hip, down the outside of the leg to the patella (i.e., knee) and tibia (i.e., bone of the lower leg). It links the pelvis, upper and lower leg. Regular activity shortens the IT Band and pulls on the patella. The hip pull across can be added to your fitness program to help alleviate and prevent IT Band Syndrome.
