Cycling - ITB Syndrome

Featuring Dr. Larissa Roux, MD, MPH, PhD, CCFP, Dip Sport Med

Duration: 1 minute

ITBS, or iliotibial band syndrome, is a very common cause of lateral knee pain in athletes.

The iliotibial band is a fascia that extends from muscles that crosses two joints, across your hip and your knee, and it inserts at the lower aspect of your knee. In terms of symptoms, a cyclist may present with sort of insidious onset of dull pain on the lateral aspect of the knee, as well as possible swelling. Occasionally this might be experienced as a stinging sensation.

Management really revolves around stretching û a lot of stretching û as well as strengthening of hip abductors and other muscles in the region. A sports medicine physician and a physiotherapist might be able to point the athlete in the right direction with respect to recovery tools that they could use at home that would be helpful in the treatment of this condition, as well as identifying any biomechanical features that could be contributing to the problem and could be modified.
