For those of you that do squats, do any of you get knee pain on long hikes afterwards? Ever since I started squatting again, I have started to get iliotibial band pain after hiking a few miles. I am trying some home physical therapy exercises hoping I can get rid of it. I'd hate to never be able to squat but if the PT doesn't work, I think I am going to have to stop doing squats.
I would lighten up on the weight for a spell, have someone that I have confidence in take a look at my form to make sure I'm still doing it right, and if not working the stomach enough, would up the mid-section work.
Most PT people are not all that up on serious squat form. First place I would go would be to a serious power lifter that knows.
