For all of us ladies with IT Band syndrome

[Wahine]

Thanks for the link I think those exercises are important for cyclists to do in general, even without ITB problems, because they end being underworked or not worked at all while on the bike. The imbalances that can result can lead to a host of issues, if my own experience is any guide.

This exactly.

A muscle imbalance always has a shortened muscle/tissue component and a weak muscle component. IT band syndrome should most definitely be treated by addressing both issues in order to achieve long term results.
