The iliotibial band is a dense strip of fascia (connective tissues) that originates around the lateral aspect of the hip by the fascia of different muscles (gluteus maximus, medius and tensor fascia latae), runs vertically along the thigh, and inserts in the anterolateral aspect of the tibia (in the Gerdy\u2019s tubercle). Because of its anatomy, this band of connective tissue is free to perform anterior-posterior movements\/shifts during knee motion, particularly in flexion and extension. Iliotibial Band Syndrome, often referred to as Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome or runner\u2019s knee, is one of the most common overuse injuries that affects the knee. The aetiology of this syndrome is multifactorial and likely related to the combination of several factors such as a repetitive knee flexion and extension (e.g.: when running) coupled with a compression\/impingement and inflammation of the structures located in the lateral aspect of the knee (e.g.: lateral fat pad and iliotibial bursa). Due to its nature, this condition is primarily reported in the active population over than sedentary individuals, especially in sports that require repetitive knee flexion and extension motion (e.g.: running, cycling, etc.) and often associated with changes in training strategies and volumes (e.g.: increased running intensities and distances). Patients typically complain of sharp\/burning pain during running that, if left untreated, typically becomes more present throughout the activity of daily living and not limited to physical activity alone. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If you have been experiencing these types of symptoms when practising your sport, or during your daily life activities for a few weeks, our strong advice is to do not passively wait for the symptomatology to self-resolve, as this type of condition, if not appropriately treated, tend to deteriorate and become chronic. Our medical team, strongly specialised in overuse and sports conditions, can support your recovery process by identifying the root causes of your condition and by developing a rehabilitation plan tailored to address those specific factors. With our team, you will work on the root causes of your condition by improving your mobility, increasing your muscular strength, restoring the balance between different structures, improving your movement quality (e.g.: running technique retraining in runners) and enhancing your ability to managing loads by becoming more resilient. Taken all together, this will address the reasons why you develop the condition in the first place, resolving your symptoms, reducing the likelihood of this reoccurring, and allowing you to return to your sport and activities of daily living. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
