Resting the leg and applying ice for 15 minutes may relieve ITBS. If your ITBS
keeps returning, or if it is not relieved by rest and ice, you can get assistance
from a physical therapist. Physical therapists can help decrease the pain of
ITBS with specific stretching and strengthening exercises, ultrasound, some
hands on techniques, and patient education. Patient education may include knowledge
about proper footwear, gradually increasing activity, and doing appropriate
activities to help you return to pain-free sports.
