89: What Runners Should Know about IT Band Syndrome


Listen Later

Struggling with knee pain on the outside of your knee? Today’s episode may help! We are not physical therapists, so we approach the topic of IT band syndrome based on a coaching perspective and research. If you are dealing with IT band syndrome, we encourage you to reach out to a PT! 

Discussion points include:

  • The anatomy of the IT band
    • Should you foam roll your IT band?
      • What causes IT band syndrome?
        • What exercises can address IT band pain?
          • Will stretching help the IT band?
            • Will cortisone shots help IT band pain?
              • Can a running gait analysis help treat IT band pain?
