Get To Know The Symptoms Of Iliotibial Band Syndrome

The iliotibial band (IT band) is some connective tissue running from your hip to your shinbone and knee. It's on the outer part of your leg, ladies! The IT band helps you flex and extend your knee and leg. You have one in each leg, so everything's covered! However, you can damage the IT band. This is what iliotibial band syndrome is. It's an overuse injury from not stretching right, mechanical imbalances, and overworking your body. Ladies, you're the most at risk when you are a runner or bicyclist. That said, anyone can get this one.
