Catriona I love hearing this! My husband and I love the ball and dowel and roll for pressure work after long climbing days. Wishing you the best health for your adventures! 

The IT band on my left side is so tight and always has been. I can see how this will loosen this side up. I try a foam roller but it is always too painful. I love using a broomstick instead because it is not so intense. Thank you so much for sharing this.
