If you’re a runner or distance-based athlete, you’re likely familiar with the infamous IT Band. I say infamous because it’s typically only brought up when pain is present. This thick mass of connective tissue (fascia) runs from the pelvis to the tibia, crossing both the hip and knee joints. It’s best known for sidelining runners with knee pain, but it’s also a common issue among soccer players, cyclists, and more.

If you’ve run into problems with the IT band and you don’t know what to do next, you’ve come to the right place. What many people don’t realize is that we have a lot of control over the health of this band and the surrounding joints and tissues…we just don’t know what exercises to do to expedite recovery and prevent future injuries.

Today I’m going to help change this by introducing several movements you can do completely unsupervised and with minimal equipment. This program is so accessible that you can get started as soon as you’re done reading this post! It’s time to say goodbye to your pain and get back to pain-free, functional living.

IT Band Pain? Relief Is Closer Than You Think!
