Do you spend a lot of time in your trail running shoes and suffer from outer knee pain as a result? If so, you might be blaming your IT band.

You might be pretty happy to finally be free from hours of pointless pain while you’re rolling, but how do you deal with that pain that persists in your knee? If you’re experiencing pain and discomfort in your outer knee and your IT band feels tight, you’re probably going to want to get to know your TFL.
