In this episode with Dr Rich Willy we discuss how the evidence has really shifted on what causes ITB pain even down to the population and the anatomy and physiology of the structure. Rich then shows us based on the updated understanding how we need to modify our end stage rehab to help runners create more robustness and resilience in this area to help with prevention.

Dr. Richard Willy is an Assistant Professor in the School of Physical Therapy, University of Montana (Missoula, MT, USA). He received his PhD in Biomechanics and Movement Science from the University of Delaware and his master of physical therapy from Ohio University. In addition to his research, Dr. Willy has been a clinician for 18 years specializing in the treatment of the injured runner.
