What is IT Band Syndrome?
IT band syndrome, or iliotibial band syndrome, occurs when the iliotibial band—a thick band of fascia that runs along the outside of the thigh—becomes tight or inflamed. This condition is often characterized by pain on the outside of the knee or hip, especially during activities like running, cycling, or hiking.
Causes of IT Band Syndrome
The primary causes of IT band syndrome include overuse, repetitive motions (like running on uneven surfaces), muscle imbalances, and biomechanical issues such as overpronation or leg length discrepancies. Understanding these causes is crucial for effective treatment and prevention.
Symptoms of IT Band Syndrome
