Great post! I had issues with my IT band when I first started running. The big issue for me was over training, not doing enough mobility work, and the wrong shoes. Luckily I haven't had any issues since then as long as I keep doing the right things to keep my body and hips healthy!

Thanks for stopping by. It is an on again off again issue with me. It s combination of things for me, always working on it and striving to be my best. I wish it was only one thing, it would be so easy. It is such a common issue even for non-runners. Happy Running.
Chronic issues are definitely no fun. While I have my IT band under control, I'm fairly tall so I get really tight through my psoas and the front of my hips. I have to do a lot of work on that part of my body to keep from having low back issues. I would definitely rather have to do the work to counteract all the running and other physical activity than have to do it because I sit all day, though! I wish you many healing thoughts as you continue to get your miles in! :)
Interesting you said this as my issues are really tight psoas and front of hip more so on the right. when then just aggravates itself into IT band, glues and then of course the knee. I also live on the East Coast and all we have are hills. I am hard pressed to find something flat to run on. Off i go now to physio and then tomorrow a run. aha thanks BTW I am also a RHN..happy running
