1 RECOVERING FROM ILIOTIBIAL BAND SYNDROME IN FEMALE RUNNERS Huibri Schalkwyk November 2017 Course Date: 25 January 2017 Pretoria, South Africa
2 This research paper addresses the benefits of an ongoing BASI Pilates program that assists in prevention and recovery of Iliotibial Band Syndrome also known as ITBS or ITB, in female runners. Iliotibial Band Syndrome is most common in cyclists and runners - especially in female runner s - due to the overuse of the connective tissues that are located on the outer knee and thigh. I was first diagnosed with Iliotibial Band Syndrome after completing the Soweto Marathon. A reoccurring pain on the outside of my knee continued to worsen throughout my training and completion of this 42.2km race. Rest was prescribed by my physio at the time. I took a year of running while pregnant. However, my Iliotibial Band Syndrome continued to worsen through my pregnancy and through the first 2 years of my daughter s life. After attempting to train for the 2017 Two Ocean marathon the injury worsened and I was forced to stop running and start Pilates to prevent any further long-term damage to my knees. This is where my Pilates journey started and contributed to reduced pain in my knees, making it possible to pick up and carry my toddler pain free. 2

4 WHAT IS THE ILIOTIBIAL BAND? The Iliotibial Band is the fascia (also known as connective tissue) that runs down the outside of the thigh from the pelvis, across both the hip and the knee and is attached at the top of the Tibia also known as the shinbone. If starts from the Tensor Fascia Lata and you Gluteal Medius and Gluteus Minimus muscles. The purpose of the Iliotibial Band is to assist in stabilizing as well as move the joint through its range of motions. The Iliotibial Band forms part of one of the hip abductor muscles that is used to move the hip away from the midline. It also assists in both knee flexion as well as knee extension. 4
5 WHAT IS ILIOTIBIAL BAND SYNDROME? Iliotibial Band Syndrome is one of the top 5 injuries experienced in runners over 30 years of age and woman are more at risk to develop Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Iliotibial Band Syndrome is inflammation of the Iliotibial Band that is considered an overuse injury of the fascia that is located on the outer part of the thigh and knee. It is caused by the rubbing of the of the Iliotibial Band on the outside of the knee as it rubs against the outside of the knee joint. Athletes with a genetically wider Iliotibial Band or naturally tight band will have a higher chance of developing Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Another significant factor is weak hip abductors, particularly the gluteus medius and tensor fascia latae that assists in preventing the inward movement of the knee when running. A bursa found on the Condyle assists the Iliotibial Band to glide smoothly across the knee joint when the knee is extended. However, should inflammation occur in this area, then the movement when flexing and extending the knee can cause increased friction from repeatedly rubbing the Iliotibial Band against the outside of the knee joint. This can cause pain on the lateral part of the knee joint. The pain might not be too severe in the beginning and runners tend to continue to run through the pain. When ignoring the symptoms, the inflammation will continue and scarring might develop in the bursa or sac that will increase the pain, decrease activity and 5
6 decrease the knees full range of motion. The pain will progress over time until the runner will be forced to stop running and seek medical attention. SYMPTOMS The most common sign of Iliotibial Band is pain on the outside of the knee. More specifically around the lateral epicondyle of the femur. This can be accompanied by swelling and even slight bruising that is tender to touch in the same area. This can cause runners to believe that they have a knee injury and prevent them from treating the source of the pain. A way to test if you might have Iliotibial Band Syndrome is to bend your knee to 45 degrees, if you experience pain on the outside of your knee then the chances are high that you have an Iliotibial Band problem. A tightness in the Iliotibial band is another symptom of Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Weakness during hip abduction can also be a common sign of Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Some runners also experience tender trigger points in the gluteal muscles. The pain will gradually increase over time and tends to start at a certain time or distance during a run and gradually gets worse. The pain can be aggravated by running downhill, running on the same side of a cambered road, running too many laps in the same distance around a track or simply running too many kilometers too quickly. Unlike many running injuries, seasoned runner s chances of afflicting of Iliotibial Band pain are almost as high as with beginner runners. 6
7 If any of these symptoms are present then it is recommended to stop running or drastically reduce your mileage until you consult with a doctor or physiotherapist. Other parts of the legs like the Quadriceps, Hamstrings and even the Calves can experience tightness while trying to over compensate for the tightness and pain experienced in the Iliotibial band. ILIOTIBIAL BAND SYNDROME TREATMENT If Iliotibial Band Syndrome has been diagnosed then rest will bel the first step on the road to recovery. Rest is recommended to allow the inflammation in the tendon to heal. When runners decide to not rest but continue to train then the inflammation will most likely increase. This can also cause chronic Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Initially complete rest is recommended but cross training and other exercise is recommended at a later stage to maintain fitness and muscle strength. Sport massaging or dry needling can also assist, if resting does not reduce the pain, in loosening or relaxing the tightness in the Iliotibial band and assist in pain management. Recovery can take weeks to months to full activity without pain. Patience is a key ingredient in your Iliotibial Band Syndrome recovery plan. It is recommended to introduce stretching, strengthening and foam roller exercises into your recovery plan after a few weeks. 7
8 Stretching of the hip in particular is important to reduce the tightness and reduce the friction on the side of the knee. Keeping muscles stretched is important in preventing and reducing musculoskeletal injuries such as I Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Foam roller exercises on the gluteal muscles down the of Iliotibial Band can assist in stretching the Iliotibial Band while removing any tight knots and spots and reducing friction on the side of the knee. Strengthening exercises will improve the muscles on the outside of the hip that assists in abduction of the leg. This will assist in preventing the knee from turning inwards when walking or running and therefore reduce the friction causing Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Strengthening exercises of the Gluteus Medius are crucial. Pilates is recommended for the recovery and prevention of the return of Iliotibial Band Syndrome. It can also be used to identify and correct errors in training and running techniques to prevent Iliotibial Band Syndrome in the future. Maintaining flexibility and strength of the lower back, hips, knees and leg muscles is important to avoid recurrence. 8
9 CASE STUDY Subject Huibri Schalkwyk, 33 year old female Iliotibial Band Syndrome was first diagnosed following the 2012 Soweto Marathon. After physiotherapy and resting for approximately 11 months running was commenced. Pain on the outside of the leg was always present and increased when distance was increased to more than 21km. ITBS increased due to carrying of my toddler on one hip only as well as increased distance while training for the 2017 Two Oceans Ultra Marathon. Training had to be stopped following a 32 km run and crippling knee pain. A physiotherapist was visited 2 days later and rest was recommended together with dry needling and stretching exercises. Following a 3 week physiotherapy program Pilates was recommended to further strengthen muscles. It was recommended that I do not run again or drastically reduce mileage due to permanent damage and scared tissue. I have tried to run again and ran a 21km race in August. Following a setback in my recovery due to the race I have decided to stop running indefinitely and follow the below training program. The below recommended plan would have been my approach following my initial injury and and is an essential part of my ongoing recovery. This will assist in strengthening my muscles especially my leg, glute and hip muscles. Strengthen abdominals and upper back muscles to assist in keeping my body symmetrical and improve my overall posture and distributing my weight throughout my body. 9

16 OUTCOME By strengthening my Gluteal Medius muscles and stretching all leg muscles my knees are almost pain free and my legs are stronger than before. My Iliotibial Band is less tight and my knee is not swollen or bruised. As a result of my Pilates training my hamstrings are less tight and allows me to be more flexible and stronger. My overall body posture has improved and I have grown an additional 2cm s due to a better posture in the past 12 months. I have decided to not run again to prevent any further long term damage to my knees and having an impact on my Pilates career but have incorporated Spinning into my exercise plan to ensure my fitness levels stay up while improving my strength and flexibility by doing Pilates. I agree with the wise words of Joseph Pilates: In 10 sessions you ll feel the difference, in 20 you ll see the difference, and in 30 you ll have a new body. Joseph Pilates, 1920s 16
