Iliotibial band tightness is a frequent knee injury that results when the iliotibial band is irritated and swells up as it rubs against the hip or knee bone. It occurs naturally when the band rotates forward or due to hip abductor weakness. It takes four to eight weeks to heal completely. It is advised to take proper rest and not to run, cycle, or perform squats. Some simple physiotherapy can relieve the tightness in a few days.
