IT Band

Hello. I was just wondering if you could tell me what kind of brace I should get for a pulled IT Band. I play volleyball, and I’d really like I small brace, not a big whoppin one. Thank you.

    I’m a tennis player, and I’m having some problems with my IT band as well. (probably overuse!) Would a compression thigh sleeve help? I’m experiencing some sensations of weakness, and when I extend my quad, there is a moment just before I get to 180 degrees where the leg wants to snap back to the flexed position. Not a big sharp pain…just discomfort/weakness. When I warm up properly, I don’t seem to notice it on court.
