Discover how cold laser therapy targets inflammation and restores mobility in overused hip and knee structures.
What Is IT Band Syndrome?
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is one of the most common overuse injuries affecting runners, cyclists, and active individuals. It occurs when the iliotibial band — a thick band of fascia running along the outside of the thigh — becomes tight, inflamed, or irritated, leading to:
-
Sharp or burning pain on the outer knee
-
Hip tightness or clicking
-
Pain that worsens with running or biking
-
Limited range of motion
Often caused by repetitive motion, poor biomechanics, or insufficient stretching, ITBS can be notoriously slow to heal — particularly when traditional rest-and-ice methods aren’t enough.
How Cold Laser Therapy Can Help
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), delivers focused light energy into the deep tissues surrounding the hip, thigh, and knee. This stimulates cellular repair, enhances circulation, and helps calm inflammation.
A published paper titled Low-Level Laser Therapy: A New Treatment Alternative Effective for Acute Exercise-Related Tendinitis (read here) supports the role of LLLT in treating soft tissue overuse injuries. The study concluded that laser therapy helped reduce pain and restore functional mobility faster than rest alone.
Benefits of LLLT for ITBS:
-
Reduces inflammation along the IT band
-
Speeds up tissue regeneration in stressed tendons
-
Improves flexibility and joint mobility
-
Minimises reliance on pain medications
The Best Device for At-Home Treatment
The Pulsed Low Level Laser Therapy device makes it easy to treat ITBS from home — no appointments, no clinic visits.
This compact unit is ideal for targeting:
-
The outer thigh, where the IT band runs
-
The lateral knee, where pain is most intense
-
The hip area, to relieve tension and rebalance gait
It features pre-set treatment programs designed for joint pain, inflammation, and soft tissue recovery, making it perfect for sports recovery and chronic strain management.
What Users Are Saying
“Great product. Purchased it 6 weeks ago and used it every day on my knee (meniscus injury). It has improved more than the previous six months.”
— Alex R, Verified Customer
Alex’s story highlights what many endurance athletes experience: long-term knee or hip issues that don’t respond to rest alone. LLLT offers a practical, effective alternative for ongoing relief and faster recovery.
Why Cyclists and Runners Trust Laser Therapy
If you're an active person dealing with nagging pain on the outside of your knee, you might feel frustrated by the cycle of rest, relapse, and recurring tightness. But what many athletes have found is that laser therapy provides the missing link — a direct, evidence-based solution to soft tissue inflammation and strain.
✅ Non-invasive and drug-free
✅ Accelerates healing time
