Thanks for sharing, Doctor Jo. I often do hip abduction on side lying to strengthen my hips because i have weak hips. But every time I doing this, i feel tight on my IT band, is there anything wrong in the way i do this?
I am feeling some good stretches.. Thank you for sharing.. With regular stretching/exercise, does this condition ever resolve?
Yeah I need this right now my knees are hurting so bad I can barely walk
hi guys I am 65 and rode horses most of my life a few years ago i started getting low back pain and pain down the outside of my legs. it is so bad now that I havent rode my horses for a couple of years. I ve been working with the pain clinic all summer and we havent found out why. could it be ITB? I would really love to ride my horses again. the grandaughters are just getting old enough to ride with me.
Top tips, I’ll be giving them a go and hopefully get running again soon!
Ok so when I do certain leg exercises at gym such as squats or leg press you can see the IT band on the lateral side just by the knee move significantly during extension (only on my left leg). There is no pain just discomfort however, should I increase the weight load I feel that I would cause an immense amount of pain and/or serous injury. I’m assuming these 3 stretches are the solution?
Doc daughter has sore outside hip from ball challenge in soccer. sore right by hip and hurts some while running. Was tight this morning. Does this video address that?
I’ve had this pain on my IT band for a few weeks now. Some of the easy methods I tried that worked for me is 1) sitting on a shiatsu massage pillow on a sofa and moving the massager to the injured areas allowing the massager to hit those IT spots 2) Using a vibration platform machine, you squat on it and move your upper body forward until you create a very tight stretch on your IT band, then increase the intensity of the vibration machine and stay on that position until it loosens up the knot and the pain disappears. That worked quite well for me 3) Getting someone to do a deep tissue massage all along the IT band.
Foam rollers are good but it’s very difficult to maintain the pressure on it. The above three methods are by far the best esp. using the vibration platform. Goodluck and let me know how you go with it. May/5th 2020. Just letting you know now that I was mainly referring to my hamstring which is different to the IT band. I guess the hamstring and IT band has some connection. Good luck anyway��
All the cure, this knee problem guide “Yοyοkοn Vxy” (Google it) is the most beneficial so far. Not merely did it get rid of my knee pain in one week, it also almost entirely treated muscle tightness when getting up soon after sitting for a little bit. There is none other products that have demonstrated a similar outcome as this..
Shoot I do bike and running well this defenitely answered my question. Thanks ����
THANK YOU!! Definitely subscribing!
At first I wasn’t sure that was my problem because I don’t run or bike. I just like to sit a lot in cross-legged position and at some point the outside of the knee hurt too much for me to do it. Did the stretch and immediately noticed a difference!
Hi. Doctor Jo. Your video are really great. I was diagnosed with hip brusitis in February in both hips. The pain is on outer side of hip and front thigh muscles. The pain get worse after walking. I cannot walk longer than 5-6 minutes at time. I still feel pain. Nowadays I feel stiffness in leg muscles too. Please help
You guys need to use lavalier or shotgun mics. Audio is horrible.
The wall stretch I had heard you can not stretch the IT band, so what does this stretch do for one performing it. What I do know when doing the wall stretch for both sides my hips felt good.
THANK YOU ❤️ been out of running for about 2 months now which is torture for a runner. Doing this every day/every two days is starting to really help. PS I’m watching all the way over in sunny Scotland xx
Hi Bob and Brad, I’m not a runner but experience this pain. I recently had a bad spell with my sciatica, could that be the cause of this tension as well?
I have this issue, from riding horses all my life. Now it pops out of place if I rotate towards that knee in my seat. ��
Лечил колено почти 3 месяца, делал УЗИ, ренген, ходил на физиотерапию, лазер и электрофрез, ставил компресс не помогало ничего. А сегодня сделал несколько упражений и боли нет. Посмотрю что будет дальше. Спасибо за видео.
Thank you, great tips, Except that First stretch.. tell your videographer to SHOW The FEET..!!! Duhh, I know he showed them a little bit. But more..!!!
Hello doc, I’ve started playing badminton, and developed outer knee pain on my right leg. Is it ok if continue to play?
Perfect Jo. Just what I needed. Was much an 80s girl, so anything George Michael:) Keep up the good work. Cheerss Sue.
Thank you for your informative video….HOWEVER….you refer to the “band” as a ligament. A ligament is a connective tissue that attaches “bone to bone”. A tendon attaches “muscle to bone”. The ITB (as you stated) attaches to the TFL and the Glute muscles at the superior aspect. Therefore, shouldn’t the “band” be more so referred to as in the tendon family, as opposed to a ligament as you stated? Thanks again.
meant to ask also id say It band tight right leg feels shorter quads tight more on one leg u mentioned in your reply to work on hip and hamstrings
hi. is it possible to get exact instructions? i’m jogging 3 times per week for year and half. last 2 times i’ve got the pain in outer side of the knee. how often should i do exercises and stretches to cure it? when, in the mornings or before running?
thanks to you doctor..I was not recovering from my it band..but these simple workouts made me get back on the racing track..
I’m seriously crippled from knee pain, been having bad knee pain for months now and it’s tough to even run one lap around the track without shooting pain coming up on the inside and outside of my knees. Hopefully this is the solution, not sure what I’m going to do if it isn’t.
I been having it band for a while I’m 24 will I always have this pain
Can I start strengthening exercises if I still have pain going up my outer leg or do I have to wait?
