The infamous hip flexors are host to all sorts of compensation patterns found commonly in clinic. One I see pretty much daily is a locked down iliacus coming from an inhibited psoas coming from a fibrotic re**us femoris. So, quad inhibiting psoas locking iliacus. In this case, you can unwind the whole pattern by effectively releasing the quads. Obviously, I address this in clinic myself, but I typically will have clients roll out their quad as homework to reinforce the correction. Here's a video demonstrating some quadriceps rolling technique. https://bdme.ch/4RXD

Part of the body's elaborate system of maintaining balance and homeostasis is what's known as the Lovett Reactor system. Identified in 1905, these are relationships between the bones of the skull and pelvis, as well as among different vertebrae. Sometimes these paired bones will show the same motions, sometimes opposite, depending on the pair. Clinically, this means that problems in one bone can often be driven by its paired bone. For instance, if a person chronically has problems with their C1 in the upper neck, one should also address problems in its pair; the L5 in the low back.

When you're noticing a tight IT band, you can often tell based on which parts of it are tight where the restrictions or instabilities are causing it. Typically, either the whole thing will be tight, or just the distal third. With tightness of the distal third, I look at fibular restrictions or adhesions between the knee and the ITB. With tightness of the whole thing, I look at instability of the hip and/or ankle. You can also find local restrictions anywhere along its length (eg adhesion to the quadriceps) that will create tension in only that specific area.
