Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome - What It Is and What To Do About ItBy Rick Morris There are a number of running related injuries that while not serious in nature can become chronic and cause major problems with your running career. Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome (ITBFS) is one of them.Your iliotibial band (IT) is a thick length of tissue that stretches down the outside of your leg from your pelvis to the top – outside part of your lower leg. During its journey from your hip to your shin, this band passes over the lateral side of your knee. That is where the problem lies. ITBFS occurs when this band becomes irritated and inflamed where it passes over your knee.The symptoms of ITBFS include tightness on the outside of your knee and/or a burning or stinging pain at the same point. In many cases the pain is worse when you are running downhill.Causes of ITBFS
