ILIOTIBIAL BAND SYNDROME

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), also known as IT band syndrome, is a common injury that affects the iliotibial band, a thick band of connective tissue that runs from the hip down to the knee. ITBS is often associated with repetitive activities. Running and cycling are the sports in which ITBS is most frequently observed. The iliotibial band may get irritated from repeated knee bending and straightening. ITBS can be brought on by overtraining or abrupt increases in training volume or intensity. The iliotibial band may get inflamed if you push yourself too hard without getting enough rest and recuperation.
