Ben Greenfield (speaker) introduces a YouTube video about treating pain on the outside of the knee, specifically IT band friction syndrome. He recounts suffering the injury for about six months, researching and trying many treatments, then rehabbing successfully over eight weeks to complete a half-Ironman and qualify for world championships. He packaged his methods into a step-by-step program (14-module video + text) aimed at athletes and non-athletes seeking to eliminate lateral knee pain, tendinitis, and inflammation.

Hi, my name is Ben Greenfield. If you struggled with pain on the outside of your knee or you wonder if you may have IT band friction syndrome or IT band tendonitis, then you've come to the right place. I went through this injury for about six months of my life, and it was the most frustrating, nagging injury that I've ever experienced. I did everything I could to get rid of it. I researched as much as possible. I tried all sorts of different training techniques, I tried all sorts of different braces and bands and therapies and really did a lot in terms of attempting to actually fix my knee. Through that journey, I found out what works and what doesn't. And about eight weeks after actually rehabbing my knee, I worked up to and completed a half Ironman triathlon and qualified for the world championships. And I used a series of protocols to bulletproof or to protect my knee and to eliminate my IT band friction syndrome over those eight weeks. What I teach you in this program, the the IT band friction fix is not just intended for the competitive athletes. It's intended for anyone who wants to maintain fitness or who wants to repair and recover from pain, tendinitis, and inflammation on the outside of the knee. And basically what I've done is taken everything that I learned and put it together into a combination video and text package that takes you step by step through 14 different modules that teach you exactly what you need to do in a very, very practical way to eliminate, rehabilitate, and fix your IT band friction syndrome and develop a bulletproof knife.
