Why one session will not fix your IT band.
IT band pain is a load problem at the hip and knee, not a tight band to foam-roll away. Weak hip control and how you load the leg irritate the band, built over months of running or cycling. One session calms it for a day. Getting rid of it means changing how the leg loads, in order, over a course.
If you want a single rub, we are not your clinic. If you want it dealt with properly, read on.
THE PROGRAMME
The IT Band Programme.
Your assessment, your plan, and a course of hands-on soft tissue treatment over six to eight weeks with the same practitioner. We assess the hip and knee load, release the restriction, and rebuild hip control so the leg loads properly. The hands-on treatment is what shifts the problem; your home exercises hold the gains between visits.
Assessment.
We find what is driving the problem: which structures are restricted, which are overworking, and how the pattern built up.
Tension Release.
Hands-on soft tissue work on the tissue holding the pattern in place.
Strength Rebuild.
A loading plan that retrains the tissue so the pattern does not return, with exercises you do between visits.

Reviews
What our clients say.
Verified reviews from Google, Fresha and Treatwell.
"I've had sports massage from probably eight different therapists over ten years of running. Alexander is in a different category. He explained what was actually happening in my IT band before touching it, which no one has ever done. Three sessions and the knee issue I'd had for two years is gone. I don't say that lightly."
Sarah M.
"Chronic upper back tension from desk work. I'd tried everything, osteopathy, physio, regular massage. Nothing stuck for more than a week. Alexander found a restriction in my thoracic spine that nobody had identified before and worked on it systematically across four sessions. Six months later and it hasn't come back."
James T.
"Booked the clinical assessment because I'd been told different things by three different physios and had no idea who was right. Alexander's assessment was the most thorough I've had. The written report explained my shoulder issue in a way I actually understood. The treatment plan was logical, not generic. Worth every penny just for the clarity."

What is IT band syndrome?
IT band syndrome is a common overuse injury affecting runners and cyclists, causing pain on the outside of the knee. The iliotibial band is a thick band of fascia running from the hip to the shin, and friction at the knee joint leads to inflammation and pain.
Our Kings Cross and Hampstead clinics provide specialises in IT band syndrome treatment, addressing not just local symptoms but hip mechanics, training load, and movement patterns contributing to the condition.
Common symptoms
- ✓Sharp or burning pain on the outside of the knee
- ✓Pain that worsens with continued activity
- ✓Snapping sensation on the outer knee
- ✓Pain after running downhill or on cambered surfaces
- ✓Tenderness to touch on the outer knee
When knee pain needs a doctor.
A knee that locks, gives way or swells fast needs review. We screen at your assessment and refer if needed.
