Has anyone ever dealt with IT Band Syndrome? I'm a runner and backpacker who has been dealing with ITBS for a few years off and on. Lately it has been very much on. I've been seeing a physical therapist for three months and admits to pulling out all his tricks to no avail.

I'm planning on doing a four week backpacking trip in a few months. Long day hikes have not bothered me in the past, but I'm still concerned about how I will react over 25 days.
