I'm so into Gil Hedley's perspective and way of explaining things. I've been harping on about this to my clients for years but he's good at breaking it down. He talks about how there are trends in body awareness, trends in "what's important right now!" and that seems to be what's happening with the ITBand and rolling it out: don't do it!
