|
|
From our Physical Therapy Blog
By Helene Mitchell, Physical Therapist Assistant
Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome (ITBS) is the most common cause of lateral knee pain in runners and occurs in as many as 23% of the running population. It is more common in women than men.
• Dull, achy, sharp, burning pain on the outside of the knee
• "Snapping" is heard or felt on the outside of the knee cap (patella)
• Does not always hurt at the start of a run but hurts after running a certain distance
• Symptoms are often worse after a run and it is more painful to run slow than fast
• Pain with squatting
• Pain after sitting for long periods

Reminders |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Please lock all valuables and other personal items in a locker. A member notified us recently that some cash was stolen from her coat pocket which was left in an unlocked locker. While this is fortunately a rare occurrence here, it is not the first (nor will it likely be the last) time it has happened. Please do not leave valuables (especially cash) in unlocked lockers.
2) Staff members cannot be responsible for watching items left at the desk, in the key basket or in the locker room. Your best bet is to not bring them with you to the gym or, if you have to, get a lock and secure them in a locker. |
