Forums >Health and Nutrition>Knee / IT band pain -- does it get better ?
an amazing likeness
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
Massage and a new pair of shoes worked for me. Good luck, dude.
I've been using the pain setting in as a sign to cut back to distance, but have pushed through to finish the run.
Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done.
Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
I run with this IT Band strap ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OQLUZ4 and it works great! Also, get yourself a foam roller. They work, too!
This, plus foam roller. Oh yeah, and I couldn't run for 8 weeks (I couldn't even walk), not until I got new shoes that is (not just new, different). Once I switched to a neutral shoe I never had a problem again.
