ITB Syndrome is characterised by inflammation and irritation of the ITB as it rubs against the bone of the lateral knee joint during repetitive activities. This friction point is typically at or just above the knee joint, where the ITB crosses the femoral condyle.
To increase flexibility and lengthen the ITB and associated muscles, reducing tension and friction.
Focusing on the hip abductors, quadriceps, and core muscles to improve alignment and reduce stress on the ITB.
Hands-on techniques such as massage or myofascial release can help to reduce tightness in the ITB and surrounding muscles.
Assessing and correcting biomechanical issues, such as running gait or cycling posture, that may contribute to ITB syndrome.
Advising on activity modification, proper warm-up and cool-down routines, and the use of appropriate footwear to minimize stress on the ITB.
In some cases, supportive devices or taping techniques may be used to improve knee alignment and reduce strain on the ITB.
