🦵 MYOTHERAPY FOR ILIOTIBIAL BAND (ITB) SYNDROME 🦵 Iliotibial Band (ITB) Syndrome is a common overuse injury, particularly in runners and cyclists, caused by the inflammation of the iliotibial band, a thick band of connective tissue running from the hip to the outer knee. It typically results in pain on the outside of the knee, due to the ITB rubbing against the femur during repetitive movements. Muscle tightness and imbalances, particularly in the glutes, quads, and hamstrings, can contribute to the development of ITB syndrome. Myotherapy is an effective treatment for ITB syndrome by addressing the muscular tightness and imbalances that cause or worsen the condition. Through soft tissue manipulation, myotherapy helps release tension in the surrounding muscles and fascia, reducing friction on the ITB. This improves mobility and reduces pain. Myotherapy can also include trigger point therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises to correct muscular imbalances and prevent recurrence. Combined with proper biomechanics, myotherapy aids in faster recovery and long-term prevention of ITB syndrome. If you are suffering from ITB dysfunction, book an appointment online at www.muscleworxmyotherapy.com.au or call 0393254463. ... See MoreSee Less
