Product Information
Full details
The Ultimate Performance Patella Knee Strap is designed for adults seeking relief and prevention from patella pain, particularly for activities like running and jumping. Its key benefit is providing targeted compression to the patella tendon for effective pain management. A potential caveat is its one-size-fits-most design, which may not be ideal for all knee circumferences. This strap features an easy-to-use wraparound design, adjustable Velcro straps for a secure fit, and a compression tube for focused pressure. The soft neoprene blend offers firm support and aids in healing.

FAQs
How do I know if this strap is the right size for me?
The strap is designed to fit knee circumferences between 10 and 22 inches (25-55cm). Measure your knee circumference just below the kneecap to ensure it falls within this range.
Can I wear this strap all day?
It is recommended to wear the strap during activities that cause pain or discomfort. For best results and to avoid irritation, take breaks from wearing it throughout the day.
How often should I wash the knee strap?
Wash the strap when it appears dirty or after prolonged use. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is recommended after each significant period of use or as needed.
What activities is this strap best suited for?
This strap is ideal for activities that put stress on the patella tendon, such as running, jumping, hiking, and other sports that involve repetitive knee bending and impact.
Is this strap suitable for preventing injuries or only for existing pain?
The strap can be used for both prevention and relief. By providing support and targeted compression, it can help reduce the risk of overuse injuries and manage existing patella pain.
What material is the strap made of?
The strap is made from a soft neoprene blend, which provides firm, even support.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the Velcro straps to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the compression tube is correctly positioned below the kneecap.
Strap slides down during activity
Ensure the Velcro straps are fastened securely. Try wrapping it slightly tighter, ensuring it remains comfortable and does not restrict circulation. Make sure the skin is dry where the strap is applied.
Skin irritation after use
Ensure the strap is clean and dry before application. Take breaks from wearing the strap and allow the skin to breathe. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Compression tube feels misaligned
Carefully re-wrap the strap, ensuring the padded compression tube is directly over the patella tendon, just below the kneecap.
