The 8 Physical Therapist-Approved Hip Exercises That Brought Me Back from Injury
Learn the power of resistance band glute exercises for running strong and pain-free.
I started running consistently about 10 years ago, setting my sights on the 2016 New York City Marathon. To achieve this goal, I signed up for the New York Road Runner’s 9+1 program, which requires running nine races and volunteering at one, guaranteeing entry into the iconic 26.2-mile race.
However, within my first year of regular running, I developed a serious case of IT band syndrome, which caused significant pain and prevented me from running. I sought physical therapy (PT) to recover and get back to running as soon as possible.
I got hit with a pretty serious bout of IT band syndrome, which hurt so bad I couldn’t run.
My physical therapist added banded moves to my at-home routine to strengthen my hips, which helped me recover from the injury.
