How It Works: Knee Pro-Tec provides compression on the patellar tendon, helping spread pressure uniformly across the patellar tendon, reducing discomfort and irritation. This compression may also help stabilize your patella, improving its tracking. In addition, Knee Pro-Tec absorbs stress to the knee, reducing vibrations in the femoral groove.
Design Theory: The Knee Pro-Tec patellar tendon strap is designed to provide consistent pressure on the patellar tendon. The strap is made from neoprene, which stretches, allowing it to stay comfortably in place. Tubing, sewn into the neoprene, is used to provide gentle compression and a plastic loop is utilized to make it easier to adjust. The strap attaches with a velcro closure.

I've suffered on and off for years with exercise-induced knee pain which meant that several times each year I had to avoid any kind of impact training. Even getting up and down stairs became painful. I finally tried a patella strap a few years ago by Nike and it worked really well but was quite bulky and was consequently a little uncomfortable. After plenty of research, I decided to try this band and it's fantastic. Lightweight, comfortable, incredibly durable and very effective. My main exercise routine is circuit/ interval training so my knee gets a lot of varied range of movement and this thing really stays in place without me having to tighten it too much.One minor thing to note is that it stretches during the first month or so of use (I was using it 4 times per week for an hour at a time). I found that the stretch band across the back of the knee stretched by around 1/2 inch to 1 inch. I found that the size guide is very accurate based on the unstretched...

I would have loved to get another one, but I ordered a bunch of knee braces at the same time and all them helped with the knee pain so I just ended up returning it. I say order a size smaller than they say.... 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful By |
