Running Injuries: ITB, Thighs & Hips

The hip is one of the most active joints in the body, especially for runners! Keeping your hips mobile helps you run more freely and helps prevent injury.

The hamstrings are located at the back of the thigh and form three muscles connecting your knee and hip joints

Hip flexor strain, tendonitis or tightness; what the symptoms are, possible causes, how you can alleviate pain and prevent recurrence.

In runners, pain can come about from overuse injuries in which muscles, tendons and ligaments can become inflamed.

The cause of any running injury can be the biomechanics of the body, wrong footwear, muscle weakness or an over-working muscle. Just so with the IT band.
