🏃‍♂️ Ever felt a sharp pain on the outside of your knee while running or cycling? That could be Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS).

👉 The Iliotibial Band (IT Band) is a thick band of tissue running along the outside of your thigh, connecting your hip to your shin. When it becomes tight or inflamed, it can rub against the knee joint—causing pain and limiting your performance.

💪 Physical Therapy can help by:
• Releasing tightness in the IT Band and surrounding muscles
•Correcting movement patterns that contribute to irritation
•Strengthening hips and glutes for better stability
•Guiding a safe return to activity

At Aligned Orthopedic & Sports Therapy, we help athletes move past ITBS and get back to doing what they love—pain free.

Meet Dr. Saba Shapouri, PT, DPT—one of the skilled therapists treating patients in our Tysons office! 👋

Saba’s journey into physical therapy is an inspiring one. After a serious car accident left him with debilitating neck pain and numbness in his hands, three months of PT gave him his life back. That experience made such an impact that he left a decade-long career in management consulting to pursue physical therapy full time. 🙌

Today, Saba is passionate about helping patients overcome hip, shoulder, and back pain through a blend of patient education, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise—empowering each person to get back to doing what they love.

When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll find him on the tennis court, in the gym, or talking all things food. 🍴🎾💪

We’re proud to have Saba on the Aligned team!

🧠 Chin Tucks: Small Move, Big Impact!

Struggling with anxiety, stress, and poor sleep caused by vagus nerve irritation? Poor posture and neck hump may be the culprit. A simple chin tuck—gently drawing your chin toward your neck—can help alleviate!

How it helps:

✅ Improves Posture: Corrects forward head posture that may compress nerves, including the vagus nerve.
✅ Reduces Neck Tension: Strengthens and stretches neck muscles to relieve pressure.
✅ May Ease Pain: Alleviates neck discomfort, indirectly supporting vagus nerve function.

⚠️ Tip: If you feel numbness, tingling, or severe pain, consult a physical therapist before continuing.
A few minutes a day could make a big difference for your neck—and your nervous system! 🙌

✨ Did you know your hip flexors might be the culprit behind your aches and pains? ✨

If you’re dealing with:
✔️ Low back pain
✔️ Anterior pelvic tilt
✔️ Pain in the front of your hip
✔️ Or hours of sitting at your desk…

…it’s time to show your hip flexors some love with regular stretching! 🙌 Tight hip flexors can throw off your posture, increase strain on your back, and limit your movement.

A few minutes of targeted stretching each day can go a long way in keeping your body balanced, mobile, and pain-free. 🧘‍♂️💪
