McDavid Knee Band for Knee Pain Relief, Support Brace Patella Tendon Knee Strap for Pickleball, Hiking, Soccer, Basketball, Running, Jumpers Knee, Tennis, Tendonitis, Volleyball & Squats

Have jumpers knee in both legs from years of playing basketball & tore my meniscus in my left leg so, safe the say my knees aren’t the best. Wearing these bands provides me so much relief and alleviates me of a lot of pain following playing. Good quality too. Highly recommend for my fellow ballers getting up there in age.

Works for patellar tendinitis/jumpers knee.

I have purchased two different brands of patella bands both with the plastic loop that twist and turn causing them to not be effective. These bands do not have that which I really like. My daughter is in high school and select soccer so she developed jumpers knees. She has had great results with these bands so far. My only complaint at this point is I purchased light gray bands so that they would not be as noticible on her legs but received dark gray outlined in Black like another reviewer experienced. If I would have known that I was going to get the wrong ones I would have just ordered black. It is frustrating as a consumer to purchase something and receive something else. For the price I would expect to get What is advertised. They are a bit higher than the other ones I have purchased but seem to be doing a great job holding their position on the knee so far which is the only reason I have not returned. For the company my only advice is to correct your photos so that your customers know what they are purchasing and will not be disappointed as soon as they open the package.

Minimalist construction, yet it does all it's supposed to do, hold that knee joint together! Other straps use a large, bulky pad to keep things in place; this one uses a strategically-placed, comfortable, foam ridge to do the job. This makes the whole band thinner and require less velcro to hold it firmly, yet comfortably on the knee.

This thing helped me run again after I tore a knee ligament. Rested for two months first, of course, and then slowly worked back up to jogs while wearing this thing. It provides just the right amount of support. I have used it two or three times a week for months and it works just as well as the day I bought it. Has not stretched out or pilled up where the velcro attaches. I even recently bought a second one for the other knee, and had a fantastic run yesterday. The first couple of times I put it on, I would pull on the wrong part of the strap to get it off - I kept pulling on the trimmed edge, instead of the low profile velcro. Not exactly a design flaw, but worth noting. When we went into full COVID19 lockdown in March 2020, I would deal with the stress by running (everything else was closed!). I didn't realize that I jumped from running 9 miles a week to 20+ until two weeks later my left knee popped midrun. I hobbled home, & learned I wouldn't be able to run for months. When I was finally healed enough to try jogging again, the PT told me use one of these. What a miracle worker! I still use it now, months later, and when the other knee started to feel "crunchy" during some lunges the other day, I decided to just run with on each knee from now on, and ordered a second one. Used them both yesterday and couldn't have told you which was the "new" one. Equal support from both.

Works as intended

I thought other reviewers who claimed that these straps could remedy runners knee / jumpers knee were nuts. But for the money, I figured what have I got to lose? Apparently, what I had to lose was patellar tendon pain. When I run with this on, I don't get it. To be clear, my knee doesn't bother me when I run, but afterward, when bending around the house. When I run with this on, I don't get that knee hangover. These are so cheap I'm buying several so I've got them stashed in my race go-bag, suitcase, etc. This strap is shorter and about the right length for my kinds skinny runner leg. As opposed to the Mueller strap, this one's got a piece of foam glued in that compresses the tendon. The Mueller's got a piece of flexible tubing in a fabric sleeve. I thought the foam would tear off, but I've got a couple marathons in with this one and it looks like it's new. I prefer this one sometimes because it's the right length, whereas with the Mueller, I have a lot of overhang. However, the foam cushion in this one sometimes bugs me a little as it's kind of sticky. That means once it's in place, it stays there pretty well. But it also means you cant' just kind of nudge it into place because it will rip your leghairs off and you'll cry like a Teaparty voter.

Great knee brace! It is great to travel with. It is very supportive for my knee. 10/10
