Itb straps generally fit an inch or two above the knee, with a pressure pad placed directly over your itb. There are plenty available, and can be useful while you're rehabilitating from itbs i.e. they are not a long term solution. I found the Pro-tec itb wrap good, and stayed in place for a marathon. I'm not sure if the pharmasist would be that clued up
I currently have some tendonitis on one side, and Itb problems on the other. I can run approx 6 miles without strapping before Itbs kicks in. While wearing a Mueller Max knee strap I can churn out long runs of 15 miles or more without problem. Meanwhile I'm working to sort out the problem

wouldnt you be better off doing foam roller massage? not sure what the straps are supposed to do?
