Getting the TFL to let go requires a triplanar approach. The TFL can be a pesky muscle but, ultimately, it’s just a single muscle that works in tandem with many other muscles and its orientation is dictated by joint position, so just stretching it or foam rolling it won’t reduce its tendency to tighten up.
