Looking for some advice. I developed IT Band Syndrome last April when training for the GC 1/2 Marathon. I started PT, strengthening/stretching, was back running 4 miles...
Tracy B. replied:
I have not had any IT problems yet but I've read somewhere that ART (active release therapy) works. I was looking at it today for other issues and only a few places do it in toledo. http://www.activerelease.com/

I'm still battling it myself. Yoga's been good for me. Also, I had my running style analyzed by Joe Sparks at Hot Yoga with Joe. He's a POSE method instructor. Very, very helpful. Also,here's what Bree Simon suggested to me awhile back when I asked the same question: Hi Ryan! In general, at least in my opinion, IT issues are usually related to the hip muscles and a need to strengthen the outer side of the hip muscles. As runners, we have really strong thighs and often we power through things using our thighs and our hip muscles get badly neglected. Two of the stretches/yoga poses that I would really recommend are pigeon (which may be too intense for you, depending on the degree of discomfort that you are having) and thread the needle. Neither of them are particularly easy to explain in writing. But, this video is not bad in how they show it. I do pigeon slightly different, but the general gist is the same. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9 aJtO0VCqwwww.youtube.com/watch?v=c9 aJtO0VCqw Let me know if pigeon is uncomfortable and if it is, I will think of some ways to modify it down for you.

I developed ITB during the Mohican 50 mile trail race in June. I did these hard core and was back running tons of miles in about a month. Plus I added walking on a treadmill with the incline all the way up. Good luck! http://strengthrunning.com/2011/02/the-itb-rehab-routine-video-demonstration/
Tammy L. replied:
Doug - Where did you have the ART treatments? I'm looking at Dr. Diapolo. Any thoughts?
Douglas M. replied:
Thanks Tom! Tammy: I went to Dr. Diapolo. He seems to really know his stuff, and he won't drag out your treatments. I was really impressed with his examination and overall approach. The main quirk is he doesn't accept insurance, so you have to pay out of pocket and process your own claims. Good Luck!

Do NOT go to Dr Healy. He's the one that screwed up my back and sciatic nerve for life. Dr Andreshak is where I go now. He's awesome, he's a ortho.

Any suggestions on a Dr for my low back/ sciatica? Haven't been to neurologist or orthopedist in over 10 yrs
Craig M. replied:
Just had a lumbar fusion, which was my third surgery. I highly recommend Michigan Brain and Spine in Ypsilanti. They have a team of neurosurgeons and non-surgical specialists that are wonderful. Dr. Buckingham is the neurosurgeon that did my discectomy in 2008 and assisted with the recent fusion.
