Hey all. Recently had a patient complaining of lateral knee pain particularly during running (especially downhill). Through various tests I narrowed the problem down the ITB. This is not a pathology I have treated alot.

Treatment wise:

I have decreased the inflammation using ice, NSAIDs and electrotherapy. I have used massage therapy to correct tightness in ITB, TFL and hip abductors. Given the patient ITB stretches and stretches for gluts and TFL. Hip abductor strength is 5/5.

After 3 weeks of progressive treatment the pain still exists with running.

Any hints on what is wrong with the treatment implemented or other factors that may be responsible for the pain?

Cheers
