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 friction syndrome. The iliotibial (IT) band is a tough group of fibers that run along the outside of the thigh. The gluteal muscles and the tensor fascia lata muscle attach to the top, and the lower part attaches to the tibia, just below the knee.It functions primarily as a stabilizer during running and can become irritated from overuse.he biomechanical abnormalities that may lead to IT band problems are, excessive pronation of the foot, leg length discrepancy, lateral pelvic tilt, and bowed legs. Tight gluteal or quadriceps muscles may also contribute. Video tape analysis is a great tool for uncovering biomechanical problems.
