"Focus on your cadence; increasing your steps per minute by 5-10% can significantly reduce the peak impact force on your lateral knee during the stance phase."
The IT band is a thick, non-contractile connective tissue that does not release like muscle; aggressive rolling often increases inflammation and irritation at the knee attachment point.
Weakness in the gluteus medius causes the hip to drop during running, which forces the knee to collapse inward and puts excessive tension on the IT band.
Return to running only when you can perform single-leg stability exercises without pain and have corrected the hip drop observed during your gait cycle.
