If you get sharp pain on the outside of your knee when you walk or run, this episode breaks down IT band syndrome in a way that finally makes sense. Physical therapist Dr. Clayton Dir explains what the IT band actually is (think “Achilles tendon of the upper leg”), why that 5–20 degrees of knee bend can light you up, and why foam rolling the side of your thigh usually isn’t the answer. You’ll learn where to really target your soft tissue work, how to start calming symptoms down, and the exact hip and knee strength pattern he gives most runners before they return to mileage

• Why runners get IT band pain on the outside of the knee

• The truth about foam rolling your IT band vs your lateral quad

• A simple hip-and-knee strength template to start fixing the problem
