The iliotibial band (ITB) is a thick band of fibrous tissue that runs down the outside of the leg from the hip to the shin. It helps to stabilise the knee and assist in bending the joint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the Iliotibial band becomes tight or inflamed, the tendon rubs on the outside of the knee. Therefore, increasing friction results in pain and inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Ultimate Performance ITB strap work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou apply the strap around your leg, just above the knee. The ITB strap applies compression around the Iliotibial band, changing how the forces are transmitted through the tendon. As a result, it relieves symptoms and aids the healing process. Use in conjunction with rehabilitation exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandwash in cold water with mild detergent.
