While a flawed running form can lead to the painful knee injury, working on your running form can actually be the key to successfully rehabilitating the knee and enabling a successful return to running.

This works on occasion, but far too frequently these runners suffer a repeat of the same injury as soon as they increase their running volume, frequency or intensity.

Why does this happen? Frequently because the underlying movement pattern based problems in the form of the individual’s running technique have remained unchanged. Therefore the underlying causative link between ITB Friction Syndrome and Running remains.

Very often, the missing link in enabling a runner to recover from ITBFS is for them to work on their running technique. Particularly by getting the Glutes and Hamstrings engaging to offload the ITB and it’s attaching muscles.

We have put together a Six Week Training Program for runners to use to Overcome Running ITB Pain through achieving proper running form and improving running strength.
