Gerbera daisies (Gerbera jamesonii) are native to South Africa. Each Gerbera flower sits on a long leafless stem about 6 inches above the plant's foliage. These plants form dense, 12-inch tall clumps of long, slightly fuzzy leaves.
The iliotibial band also moves over the greater trochanter of the femur as one walks or runs. That is what you feel is the hip bone on the side of your pelvis. It is here that it is also prone to friction. The large trochanteric bursa is a cushion that lies between the iliotibial band and the greater trochanter.ecause it is not a muscle, it doesn't occur to people that it would need to be stretched. The IT band provides attachment for the gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata for hip abduction and provides stability to the knee.
Iliotibial band syndrome is a common injury for athletes and is a result of repeated friction. During some movements the IT band comes into contact with the lateral epicondyle of the femur. In some cases, repeated movements that result in this friction will cause the tissue to become inflamed which can cause pain.he IT band is most active during movements that straighten the knee joint. Ad. Although the IT band is sometimes considered to be a muscle, itâs actually just a band of tissue and hence cannot be stretched in the same way that muscles can.
