IT Band Syndrome, aka iliotibial tract syndrome, is usually treated with the wrong stretches. Although the stretches can provide some short-term relief, they don’t get people long-term relief.
Check out the video to learn the 2 key exercises you NEED to be doing if you have IT Band Syndrome...and also to see which stretches you must stop doing.
Healthcare professionals usually give patients these stretches because they can get momentary relief. Sometimes the relief will last even longer. But often the outer hip and knee pain will come back when the individual gets back to being active again.
The exercises in the video are the best starting point for fixing IT band syndrome. If you’re looking for more exercises and a full plan to improve your knee health then you need to check out our 28 Day Knee Health & Wellness Boost Program.

So - all the weighted knee extensions, cycling I've been doing post total knee replacement has contributed to my newly diagnosed IT band syndrome. Not one word was said to me about strengthening my glutes post op. UGH..... I really appreciate your guidance! You are truly the best PT therapist online and IRL that I've encountered.

Thank you Dr. David , you are an EXCELLENT therapist !! I’m finally getting some relief from pain , I have hip bursitis and I suspect this IT band problem too , as the pain goes down to my knee and lower leg . It’s been flared up for a year ~ 😫 I did get exercises from a physio , but I wasn’t told all this detailed information about exactly what muscles to target . I wasn’t getting results. I’ve only started using your advice a few days ago , & I can feel it’s giving me relief !!😅😅😅 I’m a big fan of your videos . THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! 🙏

I'm doing the glute exersizes but the clam gives me pain in my left butt cheek. I had xray. Nothing wrong with my hips. Could it be the bursa? Also my knees make a pop noise if sitting and I stand up. Some times it feels like my knee had popped out of joint if my legs are turned a certain way. Do I need to build up the muscles in the knee.?

Very helpful. Thank you! I’ve had 12 weeks of pt and although I am somewhat better, I’m still not even at 75%. Part of the problem is that you don’t see the same therapist every time, and even though they have my records they’re always doing something different and some of those exercises that you said not to do, are what they have me doing. This would explain why I’ve had ups and downs with my success of the therapy. I’ve gone from feeling almost no pain at all, to feeling like I’m almost back at square one for days at a time. I would bet that those bad days are coinciding with my faulty stretches. I am going to check out your program.

Hey Your Fun Sister, it sounds like you've been going to a clinic that is set up to help people after surgery. Those types of clinics tend to be great at that, but not so great at helping people that have a non-surgical condition like yours. IT Band problems definitely need to be handled by a different type of specialist. You might try searching for a different physical therapy specialty in your area. We're glad you're learning about this from our video! We truly hope that you can begin to get more relief so you can get this 100% resolved. In case you need it, here is a playlist of all our IT Band videos: “IT Band Knee Pain Help” kzfaq.info/sun/PLJVIPiFvv1mZUkmp_Vahu2yuGNPa9D43T If you're looking for a more comprehensive exercise program for IT Band syndrome, then you've got to learn more about our 28 Day Knee Health & Wellness Boost Program.

Dr. David, you are so knowledgeable. I’m pretty much bone on bone with my knees. I’ve seen a lot of videos saying that quad sets good for this. Are these good or bad and should I avoid them or do them? Looking forward to your great advice.
@epmanualphysicaltherapy
@epmanualphysicaltherapy 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words CricketNewJersey! I'm actually part of Dr. David's staff, but he trains us all very well :-) Quad sets are absolutely not good for this. They will strengthen the muscles that feed into IT Band Syndrome. The TFL muscle in this case tends to work with the quads and that is what pulls the IT band more over time. It compresses the knee joint and makes bone-on-bone knee situations worse. The exercises in this video and in our video "Top 5 Glute Muscle Exercises For Knee Pain" might be best for you right now. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hL6Uds2Fl7fYenU.html

Loving your channel! I'm a LMT and find your videos so informing. I feel like there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding the IT band. I was actually under the impression that rolling your IT band does more harm than good due to an increase of inflammation to the tissue since it is unable to stretch. Just wondering if you could explain why this is incorrect or point me in the direction to perhaps another video explaining this? Thank you and I look forward to watching more of your content!

Hey lexi!!! If the IT band is irritated, it can make it worse. If it is not irritated, then you might stretch out the vastus lateralus under it when you roll it out. You're right, the IT band doesn't stretch. There's a right time for certain things. Pushing or massaging an irritated IT band is not a good idea. But massaging or rolling out a stiff vastus lateralus once the IT band has calmed down is a great idea.

Hey Marlene, this can be beneficial on the correct area. It is very important that you target the muscle that attaches to the IT band rather than the IT band itself. This muscle is called the Tensor Fascia Lata and is located on the side of your hip and a little to the front of the hip. Hope this helps!

Hey Ladynipchick2! Yoga may hurt if you're aggressively stretching the muscles that need to be used less. Stretching really hard actually makes the muscles work because of the "stretch reflex". This gradually feeds into the problem and makes it worse over time. It's way more important to strengthen the weak muscles. Yoga is not a bad thing to do overall. It's just not the best sole solution to fix IT band syndrome. You NEED strengthen the glutes!!!

Its hard to flex without the vml firing up (which is dominant on my quads) Come to think of it, as i atempt to sumo squat and really drive my knees outwards, they either still come inwards or my hip reaches its limits that himder me from standing straight with contracted pelvis floor to the front

Hey JayKay! It is absolutely okay to drive your knees outwards. One of the main muscles that performs that rotation at the hip is your glutes. If you are effectively using your glutes that is great! The pain you are experiencing could be a number of different things. Sounds like an irritated nerve, but it can also be a labral tear. If you would like more information on that, here is a link: “Hip Labrum Tear Help” kzfaq.info/sun/PLJVIPiFvv1mZNugkhV8zHHPUu4PVh3vUy

Hey Valerie! Oh no, that's not supposed to happen. Make sure you're using the right muscle on the glutes. If you are using the front of the thigh and hip, then it might set off your knee like that. If you are using the right glute muscles on the clam then you might have a ligament problem too :-(

Hey Brijesh! We highly disagree! We see IT band syndrome heal all the time here in our clinic. It's an overuse injury meaning there is nothing torn or broken...it is basically irritation to the area. That means that the irritation can be reduced and the IT band can heal. The problem for people (and even healthcare professionals) that have it a long time is that they do not know about the underlying muscle imbalance nor do the understand how to fix it. Make sure to check out all our videos about IT band syndrome so you can learn more: “IT Band Knee Pain Help” kzfaq.info/sun/PLJVIPiFvv1mZUkmp_Vahu2yuGNPa9D43T
