Pain is often much more complex than just tissue damage.

How often do we see people still experiencing pain months or even years after an injury? By that stage, the tissues have usually healed, yet the pain remains.

That’s because pain is influenced by many factors, not just what’s happening in the muscles, joints, tendons, or discs. Your nervous system, sleep, stress levels, mood, physical activity, beliefs about pain, previous experiences, and overall health can all play a role in how pain is experienced.

Understanding that pain is multifactorial doesn’t mean your pain isn’t real. It means there are often more opportunities to improve it than simply focusing on the injured structure.

Pain is real. Pain is complex. And recovery is about much more than tissues alone.

My clients know I’m not a huge advocate for foam rolling — especially for ITB symptoms.

That said, some people do feel better afterwards and enjoy it. But I always hear:

“It hurts SO bad on my ITB.”

Here’s why 👇

The iliotibial band (ITB) is a thick, dense band of connective tissue. It’s supposed to be tight.

Yes, people can get symptoms around this area — like many connective tissues in the body — but trying to “loosen” the ITB itself is often extremely painful, with very little actual loosening happening.

Instead, try foam rolling the muscles that attach into the ITB:
• TFL (tensor fasciae latae)
• Gluteus medius

Usually less pain… and better chance of “loosening”. 💪

Nick vs. the Paris Marathon… and somehow Nick won 🏃‍♂️🇫🇷 (not the race☺️)

Over the past few months, marathon training tried its best to take him out — knee pain, back pain, hip pain, calf pain… you name it, it showed up 😅

Bit by bit, we kept patching him back together in physio while he kept showing up, putting in the miles, and refusing to quit.

Fast forward to race day in Paris… and he goes and completes the whole thing 👏

Proof that a mix of determination and the right support can get you across that finish line (literally😂)🏁

Massive congrats Nick — now maybe… just maybe… take a rest 🤝

✅ Answer: Baxter’s Nerve Irritation

Also known as medial calcaneal nerve entrapment, this condition is often mistaken for plantar fasciitis.

💡 Key clue: Nerve-related symptoms + lack of classic morning stiffness!
