Physiotherapy for IT Band Syndrome with Dry Needling
Do you feel pain on the outer side of your knee during running or walking? Does the discomfort increase while going downhill or after prolonged activity? Do your thigh muscles feel tight or overworked? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for persistent lateral knee pain? These symptoms may indicate IT band syndrome.
What Is IT Band Syndrome?
Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome occurs when the thick connective tissue running along the outer thigh becomes tight and irritated. It is common in runners and cyclists due to repetitive knee movement, muscle imbalance, poor biomechanics, or weak hip stabilisers.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Dry needling is used to release tight muscles contributing to IT band tension, especially in the hip and thigh region. Treatment focuses on:
Dry needling for trigger points in surrounding muscles
Reducing muscle tightness and pain
Improving hip and knee mobility
Strengthening gluteal and core muscles
Correcting running and movement mechanics
What You Can Try at Home
Avoid sudden increases in training intensity, stretch hip and thigh muscles regularly, strengthen glute muscles, warm up properly, and use supportive footwear.
For specialised care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised physiotherapy with dry needling for IT band syndrome, helping reduce pain and improve comfortable movement during activity.
