The iliotibial band (ITB) is a broad and thick tissue that runs along the outside of the thigh. It is a passive stabilizer of the hip and is the attachment point for multiple muscles. Due to improper mechanics the ITB can become overly stressed and lead to inflammation and irritation. This typically occurs at the knee or hip, but can occur anywhere along its path. An injury to the ITB can cause difficulty with daily activities, and can even cause pain when attempting to sleep.
