Knee Pain and Injuries

Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse injury, particularly among runners, cyclists, and athletes who engage in activities that require repetitive knee bending. The iliotibial band (ITB) is a thick band of fibrous tissue that runs down the outside of the thigh from the hip to the shin. ITBS occurs when this band becomes tight or inflamed, leading to pain on the outer side of the knee. Here’s a closer look at ITB syndrome, the symptoms patients may experience, and how physiotherapy can help.
