Who Can Use the Ultimate Performance Ultimate ITB Support Strap?

With Level 2 Support, the Ultimate ITB Support Strap can support mild to moderate instabilities and pains. However, this support is specifically designed to help alleviate pain caused by Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITB).

What is ITB Syndrome?

The iliotibial band (ITB) is not a muscle, but a thick band of connective tissue that stretches from the outside of the pelvis down past the knee joint to the outside of the shin bone. The nature of the tissue means that there is a point of friction - as the knee straightens and bends during physical activity, the ITB can rub on the outside of the femur, causing inflammation of the band or tissue.

How Does the Ultimate ITB Strap Support ITB?

The Ultimate ITB Strap supports the iliotibial band by compressing the area above the knee where pain caused by ITB syndrome is most common. The adjustable strap allows you to personalise the fit and get the desired compression to suit your requirements.
