Abstract: BACKGROUND: The iliotibial band is the superficial fibres of the gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata that thicken laterally and extend to the lateral part of the thigh. It has been discovered that cyclists and those with high activity levels frequently have iliotibial band tightness. Repeated knee flexion and extension can lead to bursa inflammation and friction, reducing range of motion as a preventative measure and making the ITB more prone to tightness. Objectives: This study aims to recognise the benefits of dry needling and myofascial release in individuals with iliotibial band tightness in non-professional cyclists. Materials and Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study. The study was done at the SRM College of Physiotherapy Department with a study sample of 30 (n = 15) males and females in the age group of 18–28 years. The subjects were recruited and divided into two groups based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Dry needling is given to group A (n = 15), and myofascial release is given to group B (n = 15). Results: The study revealed that there is a decrease in the Numerical pain rating scale value from 5.86 to 1.33 and an increase in the Hip adduction range of motion value from 18.06 to 28.13 between pre- and post-test within Group-A. (P<0.05). There is a decrease in the Numerical pain rating scale value from 5.73 to 2.06 and an increase in the Hip adduction range of motion value from 19.26 to 27.20 between pre- and post-test within Group B. There is no significant decrease in the Numerical pain rating scale and an increase in the hip adduction range of motion between Group A and Group B at the P>0.05 level. CONCLUSION: According to the study's findings, there was a clinically significant difference between Group B (myofascial release) and Group A (dry needling technique), but only a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of pain reduction and hip abduction range of motion.
