IT Band Pain Shouldn’t Decide How Far You Run
Pain on the outside of your knee or hip can turn every mile, squat, or flight of stairs into a guessing game. You don’t have to keep resting and hoping it goes away.
Many active adults are told to simply stop running and wait for things to calm down. That rarely addresses why the pain flared up in the first place. If you’ve tried that and it keeps coming back, you’re not alone.
Runs Cut Short
You start strong, then the outside of your knee or hip speaks up and forces you to stop earlier than you planned.
Training on Pause
Race goals, gym sessions, and weekend tennis or pickleball get put on hold while you wait for the pain to settle.
Rest That Doesn’t Fix It
Time off feels like progress until the pain returns the moment you lace up again, and you’re left wondering what’s really going on.
