I had ITB issues at the hip last year and despite seeing a physio for some time, the only thing which really helped was rest. I made the mistake of running when I started to feel the niggle and I was out for two months.
I ran a 15 miler a few weeks ago and whilst i was fine during the run and afterwards, i went to bed and woke in the middle of the night with my right leg in intense knee pain at the ITB and couldnt straighten my leg. I then simply stopped running for a week and Im now fine and dandy.
Having had a range of injuries over the last few years I am almost as fit as I ever have been (touch wood) and whilst I have had move physio, ops, needles that I can remember, the only thing I would now advocate is simply rest. I have become a bit jaded with physios and what they can actually do/or what they actually can do.
