WHAT ARE THE BEST IT BAND EXERCISES TO RELIEVE HIP AND KNEE PAIN?
Your knee is an incredibly important joint in your body and is surrounded by tendons and connective tissue that help support the joint. The IT (iliotibial) band is a thick band of fascia that runs deep along the outside of your hip and extends to your outer knee and shinbone. IT band syndrome occurs from overuse and repetitive movements, leading to pain, irritation, and inflammation in your knee, surrounding tendons, and the IT band itself.

This band originates at the gluteus maximus, crosses the hip joint, and extends down the lateral thigh to insert the tibia (shin bone). The IT band stabilizes the knee and hip during movement and activities like running. Tightness and inflexibility in this band can cause various symptoms, including lateral knee pain, hip pain, and pain in the lateral aspect of the thigh.
