Iliotibial band syndrome, also known as ITB syndrome, is very common in both the athletic population, and the general population. The iliotibial band is a thick band of fascia running from the outer portion of the pelvis down to the lateral, or outer portion of the tibia, crossing both the hip and knee joints. The role of the ITB is to stabilize the knee while it flexes and extends. Due to the function of the iliotibial band, it tends to get injured due to overuse. Irritation
