The iliotibial band (or “IT band” for short) is a thick band of connective tissue that runs down the outside of your thigh—from your hip all the way to your knee. It plays a huge role in stabilizing the knee during walking, running, and other lower-body movements. But when it gets tight or irritated? You feel it—sharp, nagging pain on the outside of the knee that can make even daily activities miserable. Why Does My IT Band Hurt? Most IT band pain isn’t actually caused by the band itself—rather, it’s a result of weakness and imbalances in the surrounding muscles. Things like glute weakness, poor hip mobility, and overuse are all major contributors. Instead of stretching the IT band (which doesn’t really help), we need to address the actual root cause of the problem to truly fix the pain.
