The ITB (illiotibial band) is a long, thick band of connective tissue that runs from muscles in the hip and pelvis and attaches to a number of bony landmarks around the outside of the knee The ITB has an important stabilising role at the pelvis and hip, and contributes to maintaining side-to-side control when standing on one leg Both ends of the ITB can become overloaded and start to cause pain, however this is more common at the knee end of the structure.

An often underutilized tool for improving sleep however is through sleep diaries. This allows us to be more
