Douglas Wisoff, PT and Coach, demonstrates in the "Healing on the Run" video series, how to heal IT Band and other types of knee pain through Form Correction: radiantrunning..... I invite you to contact me for Skype session to improve your technique and heal your knee pain. With IT Band pain The main component that is consistently in the picture is a weakness and lack of stability of the lateral hip muscles (Gluteus Medius and sometimes the external rotators as well) on the side that has the knee pain. This causes the hip to wonder laterally on the weight bearing side, and the femur to rotated inwardly at the same time. This problem alone might cause the injury, but usually the runner will also be extending the leg out in front of the body (over-striding) in addition to holding the upper torso high and back. The knee is then dealing with increased impact stress on top of the poor alignment.
The over-stride alone is often the cause of a number of knee problems. When combined with this particular kind of instability at the hip it tends to favor IT Band pain.
