IT BAND TIGHTNESS & Syndrome Management
Most causes of outer knee pain on the bike are going to be the consequence of an IT Band issue +/- a bike fit issue.
In this video, we review three stretches that you should do to prevent this issue, manage it if it has started and why focusing on the hip and NOT the quads/hamstrings/IT band itself with stretching or rolling is the priority.
Share with your bike pals!
If a couple of weeks of these exercises doesn’t work, your knee and ITB issues could be one of many things that reflects a core problem elsewhere that is contributing your to knee pain and other issues you aren’t even aware are connected 😲 correcting that could be the key to unlocking this problem and others

I believe you are meant to be healthy ... you just have to know how to meet the requirements: nutrition, movement, recovery and an optimal Brain-Body Connection.
Whether we are talking performance on or off the bike, these are what your body needs to get the job done and this channel is my attempt to my the cycling community that I love dearly to perform to their best, stay healthy on and off the bike and to have lots of fun along the way.
If you live or work in Toronto, or beyond, and are open to getting some help and following me along my journey to bike (fast) until my final days, I hope you will subscribe and join me.
