I have been unable to train effectively for several years because of an IT Band injury. I am interested in making a significant effort to get healthy so that I can return to racing. I have heard of a surgical procedure that "snips" the IT Band to relieve the pressure. Does anyone know someone who has had this surgery? If so, I would really like to know what steps were taken prior to surgery (e.g. physical therapy, massage therapy, etc.) and how long the individual was injured prior to deciding to have surgery.
Thanks for any help.
