“I enjoy biking and hiking, and big bulking braces are not feasible for those activities. I bought this strap for a 4-day hike and it was definitely worth it. This strap did an impressive job of easing the pain. Highly recommend for hikers, bikers, and runners."
—Matthew B.
“I am in love with this knee support. Due to arthritis and tendonitis in my knees, and despite a total knee replacement, I've needed to use knee sleeves for years. I've tried all kinds of sleeves and all had one deficit or another. This one is perfect for me! Easy to get on and off and most importantly, I had no pain when walking over two miles!"
— Janil E.
“ I have bought several brands of knee straps, but this one is different. It comes with 3 straps of different lengths so you can adapt to different knee sizes. My doc recommended this to help me with my pain from the meniscus. Great to have when u have knee problems. I assure you, you will feel the difference!"

Made of the highest quality materials, this pain-relieving brace is a product made to last.
Targeted pressure on the tendons increases blood circulation to the inflamed joints.
Specially crafted breathable, flexible and absorbing fabric for your comfort.
Provides support and pain relief for patellar tendinitis, arthritis, and runner's knee.
This patellar tendon support strap will give you the support you need to minimize the pain on your knees and accelerate the recovery process after a workout, exercise, hiking or a run.
1. How does it go on?
You just put it right below your knee and tighten the strap in the back.
2. Will this help relieve the pain of severe arthritis in a senior's knees?
It will provide some pain relief.
3. Does this include silicon?
Our patella strap doesn't contain silicon. It is made of rubber, nylon, and gel.
4. Can it be used for running?
Of course. That's what it is used for.
5. Does it really work? Does this reduce knee pain from running or jogging?
Yes, it helps to reduce knee pain. It gives a secure feeling as if it's holding the joint together.
6. Is it normal for the compression pad to be flat?
The compression pad conforms to the shape of your knee. Additionally, you control the configuration of the compression pad to your knee by how tight or loose you like the wrap.
7. Should you wear these over or under clothes?
Wear under your clothes.
8. Where is the patella?
The patella, also known as the kneecap, is a flat, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.
9. Can patella strap heal a jumper knee?
A patellar tendon brace reduces the loading of the tendon at its insertion by giving pressure through the stiffener (pad) to the knee tendon and the lower edge of the kneecap. Place the patella brace just below the kneecap on the patellar tendon. Application with the affected knee unloaded and bent slightly (20 degrees).
10. Can you wear this above the knee also?
It's not designed for and will probably not work if you wear it above the knee. This strap relieves Patellar Tendonitis which is inflammation of the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shin bone.
11. What exercises should I do after fractured patella?
You should do exercises that help in maintaining the strength and flexibility of your thigh, hip, and calf muscles. These include straight leg raising in sitting and lying position, static quadriceps, hip abductor strengthening exercises, and hamstring stretching exercises.
After 4 weeks, fracture fragments become sticky to each other and you can start knee bending and other exercises which help in gaining knee range of motion again like passive knee flexion, heel slide, and stationary bicycle.
At around 6 weeks prone knee flexion helps in gaining full knee range again. The squat is an excellent exercise to regain the strength of thigh muscles. You should start squatting at around 5-6 weeks when you become able to bend your knee to 60-90 degrees comfortably. Start squat at 30 degrees and gradually increase the angle to 45 degrees and 60 degrees. With this program, you can aim full knee ROM by 8-10 weeks.
After 8-10 months when you can comfortably bend your knee beyond 100 degrees you can join the gym for advanced muscle strengthening. Leg press, leg extension, hamstring curls, and cross trainer are a few exercises that you do in the gym before getting back to sports again.
12. When running a marathon with sore knees, is it better to use K tape or a patella strap?
The best course of action would be to consult a physiotherapist and ask them, as it’s gonna depend on what is causing your knee pain. If you don’t wanna consult any doctors, the best would be for you to try them both during a run and see which is best at relieving your pain through the patella strap helps more.
13. Every time I take on running, I have to stop after 3 months due to pain on my knee. How do I keep this from happening?
It depends on the location of the pain. For example, the pain just below the kneecap is called ‘runner’s knee’. It’s caused by weak hamstrings. The foot strike causes a forward pressure on the knee similar to deep knee bends (knee in front of toe squats). If the hamstring is weak, that can lead to micro-movements which cause tendon pain in the front of the knee.
Hamstrings can be weak for a couple of reasons. First, because they’re actually weak. If that’s it, just lift weights. Second because they are exhausted. As in, you run too far for your conditioning on a regular basis. Or your technique over-stresses the hamstrings and wears them out too quickly. Or you are adding miles too soon because your muscles and lungs can handle it, but your hamstrings can’t so they fatigue and stop stabilizing the knee as well as when you’re fresh.
Lift, smooth out your technique, and increase miles more gradually. Problem solved.
14. Why do I have pain behind my knee after running?
Pain behind the knee is usually diagnosed as PFPS (patellofemoral pain syndrome). Wikipedia defines it as “a knee pain as a result of problems between the kneecap and the femur”. Which can be caused by things like high arches, flat foot, and certain muscle dysfunctions.
Knee pain is a common complaint from people who are running or doing other high-intensity exercises. Make no mistake, it should not be ignored. If you experience swelling, clicking, popping, locking, or giving away of the knee you should see your physician about it.
To better help your physician you can track your exercise with a fitness app to identify high-intensity periods and your activity and pain levels.
Here are some tips to strengthen your knees and feel less pain:
15. Does running on the road daily cause knee pains?
Running is a great exercise. Against our strong intuition on the association between running and knee pain, research has shown that running actually reduces inflammation and by extension pain. Running is a chondroprotective exercise, potentially protecting against osteoarthritis. Indeed, data suggest that runners, irrespective of the age when they ran, had a lower prevalence of knee pain and arthritis than non-runners. However, running in running shoes may cause joint pain and damage, compared to barefoot running.
16. How do I prevent future knee pains / relieve knee pains from running?
Massage, including self-massage, may relieve knee pain. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation may help treat mild knee pain that results from a soft tissue injury, such as a sprain.
Protection refers to protecting the knee from further injury, for example, by taking a break from the activity that caused it. Rest can reduce the risk of further injury and give tissues time to heal. However, stopping all movement is not advisable, as this can lead to stiffness and, in time, muscle weakness.
Ice can help reduce swelling and inflammation. It should be wrapped in a cloth and applied for 20 minutes several times on the first day of injury. Never put ice directly on the skin, as this can lead to further damage. Compression with knee support, for example, can increase comfort levels. The support or bandage should be firm but not tight.
17. How can I be having intense pain in my left knee, and then after a while the pain is gone and I can walk or jog okay. This has been going on for months now?
The fact that you can walk and jog without pain suggests that this is not tendinitis, as that should worsen with activity. Active inflammation seems unlikely for the same reason.
The chronicity of your problem suggests recurrence and remission of something without cumulative damage. My thoughts lean toward fluid buildup, either within the joint itself or more likely in a surrounding bursa (a fluid-filled cushion which supports tendon movement at a joint, or cushions an articular surface).
Bursitis can cause almost evanescent discomfort, often with only certain movements or pressures applied. Unfortunately, your activity may be setting the stage for the frequent recurrences. While bursitis can fully resolve spontaneously, it may require a period of rest to do so; another option is to see a local practitioner for a corticosteroid injection to “cool off” the affected area.
18. What are some home tips for treating chronic patellar tendonitis?
First, normalize the tension of the quadriceps and hamstrings, as well as the muscles of the hip. Once mobility is normal, focus on strengthening the hip extensors. Learn correct squatting mechanics and then build up your strength.
It is very common to have overactive quadriceps that is not balanced with the control of the hamstrings and gluteal muscles to control the movement of the knee. The poor mechanics leads to increased tension through the patella, when more of the load should be supported by the hip extensors. This can be caused by the weakness of the hip extensors, but usually, it is a combination of strength deficits and coordination. The gluteal muscles are just not switching on as they should.
19. How long does tendonitis last?
Because tendons have a limited blood supply going to them, they can take about two years to heal provided they are not further aggravated. When you stretch a tendon and a micro tear forms, the body can’t rush blood to the site of the damage and repair it as it would a muscle. So as a quick patch it puts scar tissue there. Scar tissue is not very flexible so when you stretch again, you rip out the new scar tissue so the body puts a larger piece of scar tissue there.
20. What causes tendonitis?
Tendonitis is the condition that occurs when your tendons become inflamed. This usually happens in one of two ways. First, you could experience inflammation because of repetitive action. You know, like hitting that tennis ball over and over. Or, you could experience tendonitis because of an injury. These injuries are also usually sports-related.
The people who are most likely to get tendonitis are what some would call “weekend warriors.” They’re the people who play hard on the weekends, but don’t regularly exert themselves any other day of the week.
