Individualized Exercise Program
The individualized exercise program involves an initial 2D individual running evaluation designed for runners of all ages and abilities, to help improve performance and prevent injury. During the assessment patients receive a one-on-one evaluation with an exercise physiologist that includes: * Running analysis; * Training program review; * Strength and flexibility assessment; * Review of running video; * Personalized final report.
Standard Physical Therapy
Standard of care physical therapy for ITB band syndrome involves exercises designed to target structural weaknesses such as hip abductor weakness. Typical exercises include but are not limited to hip flexor stretches, side lying hip abduction, figure 4 bridges, lateral walks with exercise bands, and side planks.
