Cho-Pat ITB Strap - Support for Running and Everyday Activities to Relieve Discomfort from Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) - Medium (18.5"-21")

After knee surgery, this ITB strap has been very useful in helping to keep my knee cap stabilized. Plus it's light weight and thin.

Better than the sleeve. You can adjust to your needs.

This has really helped with my ITB Syndrome. The casue for me was bad shoes, so now I am rehabing it and was able to run 5 miles yesterday ccompletely PAIN FREE.

I have ITBS and ordered three different compression straps off the internet. This one I give the lowest review, because unlike the other two products, this one did not stay in the correct position on my thigh to provide compression. Due to its lower elasticity, it falls from three inches above knee cap down to right above the knee cap in just a few minutes of exercize. Though the hardware looks great, this product just didn't work for me, and I suspect, for most people.The other two products are the ProTec - IT Band Wrap which gets my highest review - see the product page. The PatStrap gets my second place vote, only inferior to the ProTec product in that it is a thinner band that feels more restrictive. It also eats my leg hairs when I take it off!I recommend the 'ProTec - IT Band Wrap'.

You forget you have it on as it is that comfortable.

This seemed to help a lot with my IT Band pain. I also used a knee brace with long runs so not sure if it was the brace or the IT Strap, but the pain eased.

UPDATED: X-small strap fits, but doesn't stay up. Keeps falling down my leg. Maybe it works better for thigh area, but I wanted this to secure just above my knee, compressing my IT band. No matter how many times I tried, it would fall down. My Cho-Pat strap I wear for my knee issue is great, but this thing is sitting unused. I went back to my Pro-Tec IT strap, although luckily I may have overcome my ITBS and haven't had to wear it.OLD REVIEW: Small strap was too large for me. When I measured I bordered on the largest measurement for the extra small and they even said to go smaller if you're close. I've just never considered myself Extra Small ever, so that's why I ignored the advice. I've sent the small back for an extra small, but I'm not sure I'm going to like even the extra small. The strap doesn't hug my leg as well as other straps (Pro-Tec) I've purchased. I heard and read such great things about Cho-Pat, I figured I'd try it.No issues with the Seller.

These affordable brace straps add much support to a weak knee so it can heal, decrease pain. Very comfortable and adjustable.

I do have diagnosed ITB syndrome. I've tried this on and I do not find it helpful. The product did arrive as advertised and in a timely fashion.

Works like a charm
