Oh my goodness, WHY had no one ever told me that this product existed? I came across these while browsing knee sleeves. I have knee sleeves and have had different brands through the years, the latest being "copper fit", and they are okay but aren't as stable as I need. When I saw these, I was intrigued enough to wonder if they worked. After I ordered them, I was talking to a friend that said they had used these years ago and they worked good. The day they arrived I went to the store without opening up the package yet. While in the store, my knee gave ALL THE WAY out and I almost fell underneath the cart, thank goodness I was holding on at the time. Now, my knee has gone out from time to time, but NEVER like this, and it kept going out the rest of the trip. As soon as I got home I put this on, and I cannot believe the difference it made! This thing is amazing!!! I tested it and walked around outside every which way I could, and it made my knee stable and not ONCE did it go out! It kept acting like it wanted to, but the ring stopped it in it's tracks! I LOVE my knee ring and I will never go out without it again! This is 10x better than a sleeve and will fit over or under your clothes. What I really love is the ability to tighten or loosen it to specifically fit YOU. I can walk so confident now! Thank you Ipow and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
I've only been using this a short time but absolutely love it so far! I've had two knee surgeries in the last 7 months, so I purchased with the intent to relive pain on my fat pad/ patellar tendon area. I've also used the second band on my quad (probably not what it's made for) simply to apply pressure to that area in hopes itll relieve the pain I'm having there. So far I've strictly used it at home and in public when I need the extra stability, and so far it's helped tremendously!
I am 30 years old and I have chondromalacia patella (runner's knee) in both of my knees due to a congenital condition, and severe arthritis in the right one. After been rushed into a surgery on my right knee by my orthopedist --and his scary sense of urgency, without a clear explanation of my condition and my options-- I had an injury that nobody believed that deserved attention. After a year, it was almost impossible for me to walk or even get out of the bed without severe pain. Tired of my orthopedist suggestions (more surgeries and injections), I did my own research on specialized books and medical literature, just to find out that instead of that surgery, I just needed physical therapy, in addition to any kind of knee support that felt right to me. So I stopped listening to my orthopedist, I bought these bands, and I started to work on my quadriceps. Since the very first day using these bands it was like a miracle. I could stand up without pain and started walking as if nothing had happened. Then a physical therapist explained me that these little guys just gave my knee caps and muscles the pressure and support that they needed. He also told me that eventually I will not need them if I keep working on my quadriceps. These bands, obviously, do not solve my general problem. My condition is degenerative, but now I know how to buy me more quality years before the knee replacement.
I just have two complains:
-The bands are loosing strength pretty fast, but that has happened with any other type of knee support that I had in the past (because I started to use other type of sleeves or braces since I was 14 years old).
-They are bulky and make impossible to wear jeans on them. But I can live with that.
Overall I am really happy that I found this product and that I decided to deal with my problem by myself.
UPDATE (June 19th, 2017):
I don't need to use these guys anymore on a regular basis. I worked hard on my quadriceps, and after a couple of months I didn't need the support. Now I am going to buy my second pair because I lost them on a trip. I only carry them when I know that I will be walking all day long, but it is mostly to have some piece of mind because I barely use them now.
Simply awesome! As soon as I put them in, I felt an instant relief!!!
I wore them for a 10 hr shift at work a day after I got them and my mobility has increased and I didn’t have to worry about going down stairs of knee pain as I had prior to getting these.
I play tennis and often feel pain when I play. This will be the ultimate test and will be tested later today. Will let all of you know how it goes!!
I have never had knee pain (played competitive soccer for 20+ years or while running). At age 32, I ran my first marathon in San Francisco and was training about 5 days a week. I started getting runner's knee when training got up to at 16-18 miles (approximately 3-4 weeks prior to the full marathon). I stopped running for approximately 3 weeks. I started wearing these as I started working my mileage back up and I also started to do quad exercises and foam rolling more frequently.
While I can't say with certainty that there's any proof that these things helped me, what I can say is I wore them for the full marathon and only had a little chafing on my medial knee area and I didn't notice the chafing until mile 20. Enclosed is a picture of them at mile 25.

Description
2 Pack Knee Pain Relief & Patella Stabilizer Knee Strap Brace Support for Hiking, Soccer, Basketball, Running, Jumpers Knee, Tennis, Tendonitis, Volleyball & Squats, Black
I have suffered from chronic knee pain while running for years now after experiencing an injury. With running being one of hobbies, I thought I’d never run again without being in extreme pain. These little contraptions have changed my life.. I now run without even the slightest pain in my knee... the only thing is that it’s kinda uncomfortable without long pants on. But that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to take for no pain. I’d highly recommend
These knee braces definitely help a lot. I was doing morning work outs which included jumping jacks and I couldn't have done it without this product as I felt no pain in my knees while using them. My husband had somehow injured his knee while a work and was still aching when he got home. I gave home one of these braces which he slept with and woke up with no pain at all the next morning.
Excellent product!! My husband loves to run, but unfortunately had to have ACL surgery a few years ago after a football injury and is now in pain anytime he runs. I bought these as a surprise for him to try, but he didn't really have high hopes. After his first run, he was stoked to come home and tell me that he was able to run farther, AND without any pain whatsoever!
The product arrived quickly, the packaging was neat. There was no bait and switch upon arrival. What was seen on the site is what arrived. I wore them today during a neighborhood jog/walk exercise for about 45 minutes. The Velcro was snug and there was no sliding, everything is still brand new though so there should not be any of that. The product appears to be made with quality materials the stitching is neat and there were no frayed edges or hanging threads; no irregular cut patterns.
I bought these after my knees randomly started hurting after running. I talked to numerous people and came to the conclusion that I thought I had "runners knee". Based on that, decided to purchase these.
After a couple runs, I have to say these are pretty awesome. Little-No pain while running now, and no pain afterwards so far. These were a great buy!
