    It is a tendon running from hip to knee. It already has the strength of steel. You need to improve the functioning of the muscles that aren't doing the job currently. In my case its mainly working on tensor facia latae and glutes. For general advice have a look through Health & Injury forum - '000s of posts on IT Band related injury/rehab. Take care - not all causes are the same for everyone, and not all rehab routines are appropriate

    Hi guys went to physio on monday and she said it was not my IT band. She said my ligaments and tensons were all fine. She things where the cartledge is i may have some bruising around the bone down to my running trainers and muscle fatigue. My inner quad muscle needs re building as the muscle there is nothing near as big as the one on my right leg !. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue
