Iliotibial band (IT band)

Is a thick bunch of fibers that runs from the outside of your hips to the outside of your thigh and knee down to the top of your shinbone.

If your IT band gets too tight, it can lead to swelling and pain around your knee.

This could eventually turn in to IT band Syndrome. And that usually gets better with time and treatment!

Don’t ignore the IT band and do those stretches and foam rolls and get that massage!
