Your iliotibial [Pronunciation: "il-E-O-'tib-E-ul] band is not meant to be tightly strung, Rock Star.The iliotibial (IT) band is a tough group of fibers that run along the outside of the thigh. It/IT begins at the hip and extends to the outer side of the shin bone (tibia) just below the knee joint.
The IT band acts primarily as a stabilizer during running & may become irritated from overuse. Iliotibial band syndrome is a common running injury that is generally due to inflammation and irritation of this band.
Stretch your mind & Read: Whilst stretching your right IT band [pictured], you can more easily read this foolish post.
