Odd ITB

Good evening to you all.

I really need a different point of view or ideal from you all. I have been suffering with ITB for a number of years. I have managed it until 12 months ago with a foam roller but now there seems to be nothing I can do other the cycle before a run.

I only ever notice the pain when running and no other time. So far I’m on my 6^th physio, I’ve seen a chiropractor and podiatrist and had trigger point acupuncture. To top off the fun this year I broke my collar bone so haven’t run for four months duo to the collar bone not repairing. First run 0.4 of a mile it started so even with rest it’s made no difference.

I cant keep spending money with no results.

There’s a BUT. If I do a 5 to 10 mile bike ride before a run I can run. So far I’m back to doing 5 mile runs totally pain free as long as I ride first. Luckily I do Triathlons but I really don’t want to be in a car park before a running race on a turbo trainer.

Any idea’s please.

Many thanks

A desperate Stefan
