It leads to significant pain and mobility issues, affecting exercise routines and daily activities. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent long-term complications like chronic pain and gait abnormalities. Recovery typically occurs within four to six weeks with proper rehabilitation, emphasising strength and flexibility exercises. Proactive measures, including regular stretching and symptom recognition, are vital to manage and prevent recurrences. Physical therapy is highly effective in reducing symptoms and restoring mobility, while surgery is considered only if non-surgical methods fail. Understanding ITBS, its impact, and timely intervention can promote faster recovery and improved long-term outcomes for athletes.
