ITBFS (Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome) is an overuse injury commonly associated with athletes such as long distance runners and cyclists who perform highly repetitive movements - which lead to symptoms of localized pain just above and to the the outside of the knee joint line.
Treatment options often include mild to moderate adaptation of the specific exercise, bio-mechanical retraining and strengthening of any muscular instabilities, a stretching programme and treatment of the inflamed soft tissue.
