Iliotibial Band (ITB) Friction Syndrome

By Pamela Fioretti, DPT at Moore

Iliotibial Band Syndrome is a common overuse injury most typically caused by repetitive knee bending (flexion) and straightening (extension). The ITB is a thick band of connective tissue that extends from the hip to just below the knee joint. Therefore, there is an increased risk of irritation along the hip or more commonly, near the knee. The bending and extension motion causes the edge of the ITB to rub across the outer portion of the end of the thigh bone leading to inflammation of the tissue underneath the band. People typically feel a diffuse pain or burning on the outer portion of the knee.

A Little Holiday Help

By Lisa Corrado Nutrition

It's mid-November and we're starting the downward slide into holiday eating. This time of year is really like an all-you-can-eat buffet. We kick off with the candy of Halloween, crash into the eating frenzy that is Thanksgiving, run full-tilt through Chanukah and Christmas (Latkes! Seven fishes! Candy canes! Oh my!) Then we cap it off with a champagne-fueled party at New Year's Eve. Is it any wonder that one of the most popular New Year's resolutions is to lose weight?

When faced with a long buffet table, it's important to make thoughtful choices so you eat what you want, including healthy choices and treats. This time of year requires the same amount of thoughtfulness. And if you plan and prepare, you'll be able to enjoy the holiday treats you really like, without having to make a New Year's resolution to lose the 10 pounds you accumulated during the holidays.

I have found Bob Moore (who was my PT for 9 months) and all of his staff to be very competent, understanding, caring and concerned with my rehab. At 73 years old I had fallen and broken my shoulder. Dr. Seth Miller, one of the top orthopedic surgeons performed a five and a half hour surgery and implanted prosthesis in my shoulder and

m. Bob Moore and his associates have helped me to recover and use my arm again, after such a serious surgery, in only nine months! I am truly grateful to Bob and his excellent staff!
