Quick solutions for iliotibial band syndrome
Quick solutions for iliotibial band syndrome PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE Fredericson, M., Guillet, M., DeBenedictis, L. 2000; 28 (2): 53-?Abstract
Though recognizing the sharp, burning lateral knee pain of iliotibial band syndrome isn't difficult, treating the condition can be a challenge because underlying myofascial restrictions can significantly contribute to the patient's pain and disability. The physical exam should include a thorough evaluation to identify tender trigger points as well as tenderness and possible swelling at the distal iliotibial band. After acute symptoms are alleviated with activity restriction and modalities, problematic trigger points can be managed with massage therapy or other treatments. A stepwise stretching and strengthening program can expedite patients' return to running.
