But if glute training is not enough \u2013 what should we do then? In this post we will present a rehab program for ITBS.<\/span>\n<div class=\"embed-container\">\n\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NTS-whIxbuw[\/embed]\n\n<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So before we discuss what you can do to rehab ITBS, let\u2019s first look at what you shouldn\u2019t do: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the ITB cannot lengthen, stretching is not a useful treatment option. Neither is foam rolling which \u2013 contrary to popular belief \u2013 does not release or break down adhesions. Given that ITBS is probably a compression injury, these 2 treatments might actually make matters worse.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what should we do instead?\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to rehab for runners, we will have to focus on the following 3 main components, which were proposed by <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27904791\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Willy &amp; Meira in 2016<\/a>. These are:<\/span>\n<ol>\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peak loads, which will be addressed by heavy slow resistance training<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy storage &amp; release, which we will train with plyometric exercises\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cumulative loads which will be addressed by a graded return to running including running retraining.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Main-components-of-ITB-rehab.jpg\" alt=\"Main components of itb rehab\" width=\"744\" height=\"547\" \/>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our colleague Tom Goom has suggested the following 5 stage to progress ITB rehab in runners, which includes the 3 main components of rehab as well:<\/span>\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11989\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ITB-Rehab-Phases.jpg\" alt=\"Itb rehab phases\" width=\"774\" height=\"406\" \/>\n<h4><b>Stage 1 \u2013 The Pain Dominant Phase: Decrease irritability (without sacrificing capacity)<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you know that your patient is in stage 1? These are patients that have often ceased running completely and who experience pain when descending stairs and with fast walking.\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this phase, the patient should reduce excessive overload by activities that further provoke the ITB. At the same time, we do not want a complete cessation of activities and keep their general activity level as high as possible.\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In concrete, a patient should cease running \u2013 especially trail or downhill running \u2013 but switch over too fast treadmill walking with an inclination of around 8 to 10 degrees. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is also not possible, the patient should explore if cycling with a low saddle or swimming are pain-free alternatives.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following exercises are low-load options that focus on strengthening the hip abductors and extensors:<\/span>\n<ol>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clam shells<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side-lying abduction<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thomas Exercise \/ ITB Excursion Exercise: 10x10s holds<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<b>Load dominant phase<\/b>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The load dominant phase is entered as soon as the patient is able to descend stairs pain-free. <\/span>\n\n[cta]\n\n&nbsp;\n<h4><b>Stage 2: HSR training to address peak loads running<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They then enter stage 2 which mainly focuses on heavy, slow resistance training. While uphill treadmill walking is continued, the exercises from stage 1 are further progressed:<\/span>\n<ol>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side-lying abduction <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83e\udc6a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Side planks<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thomas Exercise <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83e\udc6a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Single leg bridges<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire hydrants<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split Squats (Training leg is the trailing leg, shift as much weight to the back leg)<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side lunges against a resistance band<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 sets of 10-12 repetitions progressed to 4 sets of 6-8 with increased resistance\/weight and near muscular failure on the last rep.\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These heavy-slow resistance exercises should be performed 3 times a week until a return to running is achieved in stage 5.\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same is true for uphill treadmill walking which can be ceased as soon as running can be resumed.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n<h4><b>Stage 3: Plyometrics to address energy storage and release during running<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When rehabbing a patient with ITBS it\u2019s important to realize that the ITB acts similar to a tendon in a way that it stores and releases energy during running as mentioned in a study by Eng et al. (2015). For this reason, we will have to train the ITBs function to deal with energy storage and release activities without the cumulative load we get from running. The fact that the ITB works like a tendon should also make us wonder why many approaches are trying to decrease stiffness and lengthen it. If there is one thing we know of tendons is that they need to be stiff to be efficient as spring and lengthening \u2013 like in Achilles tendon ruptures \u2013 renders them inefficient. To confirm this A study by Friede et al. In the year 2020 has shown that physiotherapy improved outcomes in patients with ITBS and actually increased ITB stiffness by 14%.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No let\u2019s look at examples of plyometric exercises progressed from easy to more advanced:<\/span>\n\n<strong><em>Plyometrics Beginners<\/em><\/strong>\n<ol>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mini Squat jumps<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reverse Lunge + Hop<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lateral skaters (with bands or steps)<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tempo run with elastic bands<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<em><b>Plyometrics Advanced<\/b><\/em>\n<ol>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split Jumps\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Squat jump to single-leg landing<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single leg hopping forwards and backwards<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stage 3 is used as a rather short (~1 week) bridge from stage 2 to stage 4<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n<h4><b>Stage 4: Return to level running + gait retraining<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as stage 4 is entered, the plyometric exercises are phased out in the second or third week.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running should be re-introduced in a graded manner. To give you a concrete plan on how to build up running we have attached the \u201cFrom the couch to 5K\u201d running plan in the description that you can download for free. This pdf is one of many useful documents from our running rehab online course.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good idea is to gradually lower the inclination angle of the treadmill from 8-10 degrees to 5 degrees until the runner is able to run on level ground or outside again. There are a couple of biomechanical factors that can be targeted by mirror re-training. Be aware that gait modifications should be specific to the runner in front of you and don\u2019t apply to every case:<\/span>\n\n<b><em>Increased step width<\/em>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0While cross-over gait usually puts more strain on the ITB, running with a wider gait reduces compression. You can train this by giving the patient cues like \u201cdon\u2019t cross over the line\u201d after you have drawn a line with chalk in the middle of the treadmill. <\/span>\n\n<em><b>Increase the knee window\n<\/b><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0This means that there is space between the knees when you analyze their running pattern from a posterior view. A cue to achieve a bigger knee window could be to tell your patient \u201cdon\u2019t let your knees kiss\u201d or you could put some tape on the outside of both knees and tell the patient to \u201cpush the markers apart\u201d. If the patient presents with a pelvic drop also called the Trendelenburg sign, you could put markers on their iliac crest and cue them to \u201ckeep the markers level\u201d.<\/span>\n\n<em><b>Increase cadence:<\/b><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Increasing the cadence by about 5-10% which can be achieved by a metronome for example and reduces the peak load on the knee as well as peak hip adduction.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running retraining is especially important as a study by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3501612\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Willy et al. (2012)<\/a> has shown that glute strengthening does change running mechanics. In the same study, they confirmed that mirror gait retraining on the other hand is effective for improving running mechanics.<\/span>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><b>Stage 5: Return to downhill running and trail running<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this last stage 5, the runner should gradually increase his running volume. Trail and downhill running can be gradually added on separate days before they are combined in a session.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, so first of all a quick shout out to running experts Rich Willy, Tom Goom, and Benoy Mathew for valuable input for this post.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/itb-syndrome-facts-or-friction\/\">ITB myth-busting blog article<\/a>, make sure to check it out.
