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

Physical therapist Dr. Clayton Dir continues the Four Pillars of Health series with Hydration—and challenges what you think you know about “8 glasses a day.”

You’ll walk away with a simple way to gauge whether you’re actually hydrated, when it might make sense to reach for electrolytes, and how to tweak your daily routine so your energy, workouts, and recovery quietly improve over the next few weeks.

In this episode of Heal Without Harm, physical therapist Dr. Clayton Dir walks you through what most people get wrong when they’re searching for help with knee, hip, back, neck, and other joint pain—and what actually matters when choosing a provider. Instead of guessing between your primary care doctor, orthopedist, chiropractor, or PT, you’ll discover a clearer way to decide who should be your first stop for musculoskeletal pain.​

You’ll hear a candid breakdown of the real patient journey—pills, imaging, referrals, and “just do these exercises”—and why the right physical therapist can save you time, money, and frustration. Without giving away the details, this episode hints at a simple framework you can use to avoid dead‑end care and move toward someone who actually goes to bat for your goals.​

In this episode, you’ll start to discover:

• Why many patients land in PT only after the system has already failed them.​

• The subtle differences between average PT care and a therapist who is obsessed with your results.​

• How to “interview” clinics and providers so you feel confident you’re in the right hands.​

• A mindset shift that changes how you think about pain, recovery, and your role in the process.
