9Physical Therapy
Once the pain and inflammation caused by IT band syndrome have subsided, physical therapy is important to help with healing. In general, a therapist will make use of various techniques to help you improve leg flexibility, mobility, and strength. These flexibility and strengthening exercises can also be effective in correcting biomechanical errors and boosting your muscle tightness or weakness. Physical therapy often starts 3 to 5 days after the injury, depending on your pain levels. [9]
