Nice video and explanation. I've had IT band syndrome for years and keep trying to get back into running but fail because of it. Your video makes sense because I've done a lot of strengthening work but keep having this problem. I feel like it must be my mechanics or something else so I'll try your advice. Thanks!
Yes please give this a try! Before I was a PT I had IT band issues chronically and it wasn't until I learned the mechanics that it finally went away. This has also been true with over a decade of working with patients who have IT band. Almost always a mechanical issue causing the excess friction. God speed!
I find that I am having this issue mostly due to lumbar scoliosis (around 13* to the left) on my right hip, but it is very dependent on my glute medius and overall hip musculature strength (went from not being able to run more than 1km due to IT Band syndrome to the issue appearing after 16/17km of continuous running with the goal pace on my recent half-marathon - weirdly enough it stopped bothering me from 18th km to the end of the race o.O). Overall hip abduction and adduction strengthening seems to have mostly kept it at bay, at least for now. The other place where it causes some issues from time to time is peroneal tendonitis on my left foot, but it also seems to be kept at bay by strengthening. Will check out whether your cues from this video help me out :) Cheers coach!
Thanks for commenting! It's impossible to include every situation on here but yours with a structural asymmetry, it's almost impossible to not have some hip drop. The good news is as you know, the body can eventually adapt. Strengthening is never the wrong answer. Sometimes it's just not enough. Sounds like you have adapted quite nicely and are amazing in that you don't let anything stop you. Keep moving forward my friend. And push with the tush ; )
Really an excellent video that should have many more views. Thank you.
This helps so much. I’ve been strengthening for years it feels like and don’t feel like it’s changed the way I move.
I was missing your videos a lot. It’s always so fundamental. Thanks so much for sharing all your knowledge.
Thanks so much ❤️ Feels good to be back
love the visuals & lighting setup! Info is good too
I had some help from my expert fiance ; )

@@learn2run101 Thank you! I'll let you know how it goes. If I can't learn on my own then I will reach out.
