Iliotibial Band Pain: Simple Exercises, More Results

Описание: Tune in to my latest rehab installment on iliotibial band, or what's often called, IT band pain to help return you to your old self or get back in the game. In this video I demonstrate a few simple strategies and exercises to help alleviate iliotibial band related pain, which is the type of pain experienced by many people on the outside of the thigh often towards the knee or sometimes on the outside of the knee region.

Here I start with some of the simplest strategies, such as simply foam rolling and stretching to help with symptom alleviation and build up to exercises for the gluteals, especially the gluteous medius. The good news is these can be done fairly simply with little need for special equipment or treatment tables. In fact, you can do most of them on the floor or standing with as little as a foam roller and a band. Several patients have successfully used these techniques to get back to workouts as well as life.
