Consider this our method of “bulletproofing” your body against future wear and tear in your sport and daily life.
Knee Instability
IT band syndrome can cause knee instability, leading to feelings of weakness and discomfort during physical activities. This instability can affect balance and overall performance.
Decreased Running Performance
IT band syndrome often results in decreased running performance due to pain and limited range of motion. It can lead to reduced speed, endurance, and difficulty in maintaining proper form during running.
Hip and Lower Back Pain
IT band syndrome can contribute to hip and lower back pain. The tightness and inflammation in the IT band can radiate discomfort to these areas, affecting daily activities and overall well-being.
Restricted Mobility
IT band thigh tightness and inflammation can limit hip and knee mobility. Reduced mobility can impact various movements, such as squatting, climbing stairs, or even sitting for extended periods.
PDTR is a specialized technique that focuses on stimulating specific proprioceptive receptors to restore proper proprioception and re-optimize muscle function. By activating deep tendon reflexes, this technique helps re-establish the communication between the nervous system and muscles, promoting stability, reducing pain, and aiding in the recovery of typical overuse injuries such as Iliotibial Band Syndrome.

NKT is a cutting-edge technique that identifies and corrects faulty movement patterns by addressing muscle imbalances and dysfunctional movement compensations. By using manual muscle testing and precise corrective exercises, NKT aims to reprogram the neuro-muscular system, promoting pain relief, improved stability, and enhanced athletic performance for individuals with Iliotibial Band pain.
My Active Release Technique (ART) is a dynamic and hands-on approach that combines movement and precise pressure to treat Iliotibial Band Syndrome. By targeting adhesions and scar tissue, ART breaks down barriers to healing, improves range of motion, and accelerates recovery.
Our specialized sports massage therapy combines various manual therapy techniques, including deep tissue massage and Swedish massage, to target muscle imbalances, reduce tension, and enhance recovery. By addressing the specific needs of athletes and active individuals, this comprehensive approach promotes optimal healing, restores functionality, and boosts your IT band’s resilience against repetitive use.

As an RMT, I will continue to offer high-quality therapeutic massage therapy treatments. In addition, with my additional education and training in functional neurology, I can offer patients an integrative approach that often has many longer-lasting benefits. Using a functional neurology-based therapy like P-DTR, we identify the movements that cause your symptoms, perform a specific treatment, retest the same movement after treatment, then provide you with the appropriate exercises for “homework” to solidify our results. Rest assured, I am also Certified and Licensed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.
I often hear from my patients that they have tried nearly everything to resolve their issues or meet their fitness goals. Since every case is unique, this is why I have an initial assessment appointment for first timer visitors. It allows me to understand the problem better, ask the proper questions, and recommend the best treatment for your needs.
IT band syndrome massage is a specialized technique that targets the IT band and associated muscles. It aims to alleviate tightness, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. The massage helps improve flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance overall performance.
An IT band syndrome massage session usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the severity of the condition and individual needs. Your therapist will assess your specific situation and recommend an appropriate duration.
The number of IT band syndrome massage sessions required varies depending on the severity of your condition and your response to treatment. Some individuals experience significant relief after a few sessions, while others may require ongoing maintenance sessions for long-term management.
Absolutely. In fact, integrating Iliotibial Band Syndrome massage with other complementary treatments or therapies, such as physiotherapy, can often yield even more comprehensive results. Your RMT can collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists or chiropractors, to create a holistic treatment plan tailored to your needs. This approach may include exercises, stretching routines, and additional modalities to support your recovery and optimize outcomes.
