Feeling tightness on the outside of your thigh or knee after workouts, running, or long days on your feet? 😩 Your iliotibial band (aka the IT band) could be playing a role.
🦵 The IT band is a thick band of connective tissue that runs from the hip to the outside of the knee. It helps stabilize the leg during walking, running, squatting, and other lower body movements. When the surrounding muscles become tight or overworked, it can create tension and irritation along the outer thigh and knee.
🚨 Signs your IT band may be tight or irritated:
• Outer knee pain or discomfort
• Tightness along the outside of the thigh
• Hip tightness or aching
• Pain with running, squats, or stairs
• Stiffness after activity or sitting
• That constant “tight” feeling that won’t fully go away
💆♀️ Massage and myofascial work can help release tension in the surrounding muscles, improve mobility, and reduce strain on the hips and knees. It can also help your body move and recover more comfortably overall 🙌
