Inflammation and irritation of the iliotibial (IT) band

What Does This Mean?

IT band syndrome is a common overuse injury characterized by inflammation and irritation of the iliotibial band, a thick band of connective tissue that runs along the outside of the thigh. It often causes pain on the outside of the knee and can result from factors such as overtraining, muscle imbalances, and poor biomechanics.
