So I had a PT appointment today and the PT assessed my knees, told me it was my IT band, and did some treatment. He did some electrotherapy, scraping, and lasering. About 9 hours ago. Can I go for a run now? I wasn't planning taking today as an off day, especially now that I know that I'm cleared to run. Or maybe I could do some other exercise like swimming or the eliptical?
That's Great! Thanks for posting!
I was just wondering if it's safe to run now. I don't have any experience with PT appointments and I tried to search the Internet for an answer but came up blank. In my situation I think it's a valid question...
Depends on ypur D2F ratio
Jeez lots of trolls today.
And not applicable.
I'm a PT and it should be fine unless you are really sore or your PT told you to wait a day.
ITB injury takes weeks to months.
I've been through it. It was last December until March. I went crazy.

If you run within 24 hours of a PT appointment, no matter what your PT did, your legs will explode. Please be careful.
