Quote from: balme on October 18, 2022, 09:02:47 PMWhy Betz so against IT band release?
I'm not here to trash Betz, so I won't answer this publicly. But know he is doing soft releases for everyone. Or Becker that is

Nothing to trash about. I just wonder what is his explanation because there must be a reason, right?

Its interesting that tibia knee pain didn't start until 7.5 cm
With gnail femurs, I started getting knee pain at around 2cm and now at about 3.5 cm I am getting woken up twice every night with knee pain. I've used ice pads so far to deal with it, has an effect much faster than pain killers

In general Betz is a surgeon who try to damage as less as possible during his surgery and I assume that the IT Band has any function in the body, in particular at Running. Therefore, I assume that Betz does not want to risk any longterm complication in this regard, if the majority of the patients can handle it without IT Band release as well.
However thats only what I guess but it would make sense.

That he doesn’t want to cut healthy tissue since some patients don’t need it.

No Itband release is foolish. I think that was the biggest downside with Betz in the past. It has no long term consequences but walking may be a little bit more difficult in the beginning. But then again, who cares if you can walk well in the first weeks when you are fked later right? I think walking well in the hospital gives a good boost mentally and might be beneficial for early recovery but it doesn‘t outweigh having to have a second surgery later on.

Wide leg is no joke, it’s almost the same as being in a wheelchair. And it’s mentally draining because you’re getting worse everyday compared to when you started instead of getting better.

Very true.
