I had left knee surgery for a torn meniscus due to dog walking mishap 3 mo. ago. I’m 63. Injury happened 2.5 yr ago. I’m usually very active. During recovery, rt knee started hurting, then rt hip. After 8 wk, deep injection by PA. No help at all. Diagnosed with bursitis AND iT Band S. Told to find stretches on You Tube. Still having GREAT pain in hip and knee if shopping, cleaning and can’t go for a walk at all. I’m going to try the exercises at the end of your video, but I’m already doing most of these some look new!!! I will keep you updated. Thank you! UGH!

As a long distance hiker, I am prone to ITB syndrome. It's caused my by poor training in the off season. These exercises are firing up my glutes and hips so im going to incorporate them into my mobility routine

Thank u for dispelling the friction type. This is still the prevailing cause of ITBS on youtube.

Wow those reverse clamshells are so good, had never done them before thank you so much for the routine, its great

[trile]

love it ! I wonder why I didn't know about this channel earlier !!

[JSM]

Thank you for the great vid — I'm going to give this a try. How many days a week would you recommend doing the strengthening work? And how many sets for each exercise? (Or is it a daily thing but only one set per exercise 🤔)

[tvbuster]

This is the best IT Band video I’ve ever seen. I discovered that I run like I’m running on a tightrope as you said in this video. If I widen, externally rotate and strengthen my flutes it’s already helping. Thank you so much!!!

THANKS A LOT. IAM GOING TO DOVTHOSE EXCERSICES . I SUFFER A LOT OF PAIN AFTER MY KNEES REPLACEMENT. 😢

[awfan]

Mine is weird. I can bike for hours without any pain. But 4 minutes into a run and it's painful as hell. I probably have a poor running form and/or weak hip muscles.

[alfredobautista]

Muy buena rutina para fortalecimiento y elasticidad.

[meme-gddr]

[davidrivera]

Thanks for this video! What are your thoughts on cortisone shots?

[jaydenc]

The glute stretch exercise hurts when I straight up my leg

[TerriblyNice_Not]

What is the mechanism for alleviation of ITB friction if fascia cannot be stretched?
