IT Band Syndrome
IT band, medically known as IT band syndrome, is the inflammation of the iliotibial band, most commonly caused by strenuous exercise or overuse. The iliotibial band is an expansive piece of connective tissue that extends from the hip, down the outside of the thigh, to just below the knee. It is crucial in stabilising your knee during movement and is part of the mechanism that allows you to “lock” your knee in a straight position.
