Physical Therapy Treatment for ITB Syndrome

IT (Iliotibial) band syndrome is a non-traumatic overuse injury that can result in pain at either the outside of the hip or knee.  IT band syndrome is common in runners and endurance athletes. 

Physical Therapy treatments include:

  • Strengthening of the hip muscles to reduce tension on the IT band 
  • Joint and soft tissue mobilizations to address hip mobility and flexibility impairments 
  • Strategies for improved running form
  • Dry needling to reduce pain
