ITB Syndrome (Ilio-Tibial Band)

IT Band Syndrome is a common repetitive strain running or a lot of walking type injury that presents with pain and tenderness to the lateral (outside) aspect of the leg close to the knee. The IT Band (Ilio-Tibial Band) is connected to the Tensor Fascia Latta close to the hip joint and towards the ilium (flat part of the pelvis) - sorry about the technical jargon.
