Integrated Functional Anatomy Note:
- TFL/VL/ITB Complex - (Tensor fasciae latae, vastus lateralis, iliotibial band) – The iliotibial band (ITB) is an often misunderstood connective tissue (fascial) structure. Although this structure does not contract, develop trigger points (a muscular phenomenon), and is unlikely to become "tight" or adaptively shortened, many practitioners prescribe techniques specific tp the ITB. A more sound approach to hypothesized ITB issues would be addressing the commonly over-active muscles that invest in this complex fascial sheath. The tensor fasciae latae (TFL) uses
