The iliotibial band (ITB) is a flat tendon that runs on the outside of the thigh from the side of the hip to the outside of the knee. It causes pain on the outside of the knee just above the joint. ITB syndrome improves with rest and ice, and gradual stretching. Visit PainSpot to understand how ITB syndrome develops, causes & what treatment options are available.
