In this episode Dr. Aaron Horschig answers the question “How do you Fix IT Band Pain?”. The IT Band is a thick piece of fascia (dense connective tissue) that runs from the top of your hip all the way to the outside (lateral) part of your knee. It encloses the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) and also has connections to the gluteus maximus (your largest butt muscle), lateral hamstrings and lateral quads.

If the IT Band becomes excessively stiff it can lead to nagging pain on the side of your knee! Today Dr. Aaron Horschig is going to discuss WHY this pain develops in the first place and exactly how to fix it.
