[Download] The IT Band Fix for Runners

Struggling with IT band pain while running and wondering if you should stop… or push through?

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what you should do if you're dealing with IT band syndrome as a runner. Because here's the truth most runners don't hear:

👉🏼 You do NOT always need to stop running.

But you DO need to know how to adjust your training the right way.

As a running physical therapist and coach, I've helped hundreds of runners get out of that frustrating start stop cycle and back to consistent, pain free running. And the runners who recover the fastest are not the ones who completely rest… they're the ones who follow a structured plan.

Inside this episode, I'll walk you through my Pain Traffic Light system so you know exactly when to run, when to modify, and when to rest.

Then I'll show you a step by step return to run plan so you can keep your fitness, avoid setbacks, and actually fix the root cause of your IT band pain.

If you've ever asked yourself:
