Remember in school when it was time for recess and you couldn't wait to run outside? Maybe you’d sprint right up to the grassy field and dive right into a game.

It’s the bane of every runner’s existence—the IT band. The iliotibial band is a tendon that runs all the way from the outer hip bone to the shin. This long tendon makes it possible to rotate the hips laterally, and also acts as a stabilizer for the knee. IT band syndrome is brought about [...]
