Iliotibial Band Syndrome
Iliotibial Band (ITB) Syndrome Treatment
Runners often describe a sensation of tightness and burning pain on the outside of the knee. This discomfort typically occurs after covering a certain distance and is common among runners who increase their mileage.

Iliotibial Band (ITB) Syndrome occurs when the ITB becomes fatigued and starts to "snap" over the bone, causing pain and discomfort that can eventually prevent you from running further. This condition can be triggered by several factors, including:
Poor foot function
Extensive downhill running
Lack of pre-exercise stretching
Prominent knee bone structure
Running environment
