Our user asked: "I have had itb chronic pain for a year. Getting better. Does using aBductor weight maching where knees move outside from center against weight help or hurt my ITB issues? I have heard confusing info about which machine should be used."

Ask a PT Response: "Since you are having chronic issues with your ITB, you would want to avoid inflamming this area, especially if you are getting better. For my patients that may have this issue, if I were to have them utilize the hip abductor machine it would be with very light weight. If they were to c/o of any increase symptoms, I would not have them utilize this machine. Having my patients incorporate a stretching and light resistance traning seems to help them the most."
