Summary
All in all, the Iliotibial Band Syndrome is a disease that particularly affects runners and people who practice very run-intensive sports. In most cases, the cause lies in incorrect movements or malpositions, which can often be easily controlled by physiotherapy. The injury itself is very easy to control and only in very rare cases does it require surgical treatment. Nevertheless, affected persons should not take ITBS lightly, but should give the body enough time to recover.
