For more information on IT band syndrome, please visit https://cle.clinic/3iA7adS
Iliotibial band, or IT band, syndrome is a common overuse injury that sidelines even the hardiest endurance athletes. The pain it brings can turn simple steps into an achy shuffle.
Targeted stretching and exercises can help ease or even prevent IT band syndrome by improving your flexibility and strengthening key muscles. The wall or chair-supported stretch is a stretch that can help keep IT band issues at bay.
Start in a standing position with your feet together. Cross your right leg behind your left leg. Using a wall or chair for support, lean slightly forward and to the left. Hold for 30 seconds while feeling your IT band stretch on your right side.
Do the same with the opposite leg. Repeat five times.
Add these additional IT band stretches to your routine.
