Are you experiencing any of the symptoms we covered in today’s video? Are you going to give our rehab routine a try? What other treatment options have brought relief to your ITB syndrome symptoms?
I had left knee surgery for a torn meniscus due to dog walking mishap 3 mo. ago. I’m 63. Injury happened 2.5 yr ago. I’m usually very active. During recovery, rt knee started hurting, then rt hip. After 8 wk, deep injection by PA. No help at all. Diagnosed with bursitis AND iT Band S. Told to find stretches on You Tube. Still having GREAT pain in hip and knee if shopping, cleaning and can’t go for a walk at all. I’m going to try the exercises at the end of your video, but I’m already doing most of these some look new!!! I will keep you updated. Thank you! UGH!
As a long distance hiker, I am prone to ITB syndrome. It's caused my by poor training in the off season. These exercises are firing up my glutes and hips so im going to incorporate them into my mobility routine
I have watched sooo many videos on this topic! You really made the concept easy to understand and provided a lot of stretches , resistance training , etc. I found this extremely helpful thank you !
The best Video about the subject, and I have seen a lot because I have this problem. You have explained the cause the best best way ..... Thanks to You-
This is the best IT Band video I’ve ever seen. I discovered that I run like I’m running on a tightrope as you said in this video. If I widen, externally rotate and strengthen my flutes it’s already helping. Thank you so much!!!
@@runnersconnect haha maybe I need to write gluteus instead. 😂 I think I jumped back in too fast. I got excited and ran a couple miles then had to stop. I’m gonna take your advice and take a few weeks off to strengthen. I have very new shoes. How often do you recommend doing the exercises laid out in your video? Would 2 times per week be too little? Thank you!
Thank you for the great vid - I'm going to give this a try. How many days a week would you recommend doing the strengthening work? And how many sets for each exercise? (Or is it a daily thing but only one set per exercise 🤔)
Mine is weird. I can bike for hours without any pain. But 4 minutes into a run and it's painful as hell. I probably have a poor running form and/or weak hip muscles.
hey i’m from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and i’m a distance runner as well . I have the same issue as yours sir 😞 i can bike 🚴🏻 continuously but just like you after 4 minutes of running this pain comes sharp as hell . It’s been an year now and it’s still here … what can we do for this ??? i really wanna come back to my sport😭😭😭😭 can anyone help me ??????????
@@sanudaminuraka2747 I've tried a physio and it has helped a little. But I didn't have the commitment to keep going. The physio told me to do less biking while doing the exercises. It just wasn't worth it for me, even though I'm Ethiopian and long distance running is in our blood. If you have the commitment, I suggest you go to a physio and stick that physio for a year. Preferably a physio who knows the biomechanics of running
@@toadevergreen2561 I found a partial workaround. I run on a treadmill and set the incline to above 6. Seems to have really alleviated the weight I put on my knees, and done other biomechanical stuff to not make it flare up. Been able to run up to 25 mins so far on that high incline setting
I signed up for your website after watching this useful video and have a question. The first two links in the description above (treatment plan and strength routines) appear to lead to paid programs. Is that correct?
Yes, I am sorry for the confusion on that. We put up the incorrect links. Should have been...

Hello. I started having pain outside my right knee when I run. This began after I ran my first marathon. When I rest for 2 to 3 days, then pain is gone and there is no problem to walk or do normal activities. However, once I start running the pain comes back after 10 to 15 minutes of run. I have been stuck in this vicius cycle for almost 2 months and haven't been able to recover. Now I have decided to rest for a complete month hoping that I will recover. Any suggestion to what might have happened and how to heal it. Thanks a lot in advance man
My advice personally, if you're struggling with the injury, cut out one mile from your run every day and use that extra 10-15 minutes to do everything you can to get healthy. You don't have to do this forever, just while you're injured. Then, when you're healthy, you can do a toned down version.
Dude, You sound like you're trying to hurriedly explain this like you're being interviewed by a doctor. Why not explain your fancy terms like hip abductor and hip abduction in more descriptive layman's terms so that the average person can make sense of it.

This deserves more views
Thank u for dispelling the friction type. This is still the prevailing cause of ITBS on youtube.

Wow those reverse clamshells are so good, had never done them before thank you so much for the routine , its great

Perfect, glad you enjoyed 👍
PS. "glutes" was autocorrected to "flutes" in your comment. That happens to me all the time!!! 😆

THANKS A LOT. IAM GOING TO DOVTHOSE EXCERSICES . I SUFFER A LOT OF PAIN AFTER MY KNEES REPLACEMENT. 😢
Thank you so much for this informative video.Day 1 and I am feeling much better and enthusiastic.
Super high quality advice
How many days shall i do the strength training?

Yes same!
Same here. Biking doesn't make my IT band syndrome flare up.

Muy buena rutina para fortalecimiento y elasticidad.
What r the muscles that are being worked during the strength training?And thx for the video
I believe it’s the TFL and the butt
Thanks for this video! What are your thoughts on cortisone shots?
Here's a look at the research we did: runnersconnect.net/cortisone-shots-running-injuries/
Excellent video & more than useful tips .Thanks
I've been told by my physio not to foam roll the IT band as it can make it worse !🤔
What is the mechanism for alleviation of ITB friction if fascia cannot be stretched?
The muscles that attach to the IT can be stretched....
The glute stretch exercise hurts when I straight up my leg
How many days per week shall i do?
I’ll give the routine a try I’ve have been dealing with ITBS for 4 months now, also do you have any advice for Achilles tendonopathy?

@@runnersconnect Thank you for the reply.
How long does it take
When do you use heat as opposed to ice? What to use prior to running, and after running? Thank you
Generally speaking, always heat before running and ice after running or strength work
@@runnersconnect thank you. Your video is great and comprehensive.
Can supination cause IT band syndrome?

Any update on your condition? I’m in the exact same boat
i dont have time to do 10+ exercises every day... surely some of these exercises are training the same muscles?
