IT Band Syndrome is one of the most common running injuries out there… but what does the research actually say about how your biomechanics play a role?

Is it hip strength? Knee angles? Foot strike? Or something else entirely?

The truth is—it’s not just about stretching your ITB. Your movement patterns matter and the science backs it up. Runners with altered hip mechanics, increased hip adduction and hip internal rotation often show up with ITB issues.

But here’s the kicker: no two runners move the same. That’s why cookie-cutter advice doesn’t work.

That’s where a 3D running analysis comes in. I use real data to uncover YOUR movement patterns so we can treat the root cause—not just chase symptoms. Whether you're dealing with ITB pain or want to stay ahead of injury, let's get you moving better.

I want to hear from you:
