Video Summary

Brett DeGoyer, a specialist in primary care sports medicine and neuromusculoskeletal medicine, discusses iliotibial band syndrome, a common issue in athletes, especially runners and jumpers. The syndrome involves pain on the outer thigh extending past the knee. DeGoyer advocates for various treatments, such as osteopathic manipulative treatment using techniques like facilitated positional release, targeting the tensor fasciae latae through to the IT band and knee. He also suggests muscle energy techniques and deep tissue fascial massage. For demonstrations of these treatments, further resources are available at the end of his presentation.
