I was right on the cusp of sizing and didn't think I wanted it flapping around so I purchased a short size. Had to return. Velcro closure keeps it from flapping so purchase size up if you are borderline.

I bought the Knee Pro Tec and the IT Band. I was able to walk after my run without ice or ibuprofen. The IT band slipped a little which was annoying. However, I may not have had it on tight enough so I will wait for my next run to review and rate the IT Band. In any case, I'm really happy with the Knee Pro Tec. It stayed in place and I'm not aching! I ordered the small and thought I got the child version. It seemed sooo small. However, when I put it on and pulled it securely, it did fit properly. For your size reverance, I'm 5'5", 115 lbs.

I've had chondromalacia for many years. It got to the point where I couldn't run even a block without pain. With these bands, though, I can run and hike forever! What a lifesaver!

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

Afer use of only a few days, I am running with experiencing NO knee pain. A real bargain.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I am 68 years young, but thought this might be the end of my walking career. The bands are terrific. In two days I have seen a lot of difference. I think you should make them a size larger though for those who need a little more. They cannot exercise if they hurt badly.

Lightweight and comfortable when running. Absorbs shock well.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I was having difficulty hiking beyond 16 miles without my knees aching. I bought one Pro-Tec knee support wrap and loved it so bought a second one. I'm now able to double my mileage before my knees start aching how they did before. I hike on weekends so start wearing them several day prior to a long hike (i.e. Wednesday) under my work clothes and will wear them the day after (i.e. Sunday). Note that they do stretch a bit along the part that goes behind your knee, so I recommend taking that into consideration when choosing a size.

Was sceptical but a firm believer and will be buying another one for the other knee.

I have run about 3 miles a week 5 to 6 days a week since 1967. Finally, in 2010 the meniscus in my right knee was virtually destroyed. I then started speed walking and the pain returned around 2011. So I tried this strap. It has worked ever since. Just last month, the left knee began to hurt similar to the old pain in my right knee. I purchased another strap and started using it on my walks. Seems to be working just as well as the first.

I bought these for my son who is a high school sophomore who runs across Country. He was recently diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter Disease and was complaining of lots of knee pain. He tried running in these supports and has not complained since. The pain is not completely gone but is is manageable.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I have 2 of these. I used them regularly for running awhile back... and this was after a surgeon wanted to slice and dice me for IT band pain. Seriously. I invested in these after submitting to his full leg splint (in lieu of surgery). Immediately was able to run without pain, or very little. Now I throw one on as needed. Best minimal investment ever. I had no sizing issues. I measured a medium and it fits perfectly.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I have had a good chunk of torn meniscus removed during two ACL reconstructions, and I'm starting to get some bone-on-bone action on the inside of my right knee. Even though the product only claims to help with patellar tendon issues, I thought it might also provide some support in the meniscus area, and it feels like it might. I feel like my knee tracks a bit better in general. Maybe it just creates more awareness of the area, which makes me more careful, but I feel like I've had less knee pain recently, even as I increase my mileage in my training.

I'm obviously not a doctor, but I feel like it's made running slightly less painful, and I'm going to keep wearing mine until I find a reason not to.

Works well for chondromalacia and less bulky than a full knee wrap. Easy to pack when traveling. Velcro strap allow custom fit.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

Roadrunner is great. Always. Delivery, products, and price are the best around.
This item works for many, just not for me. My knee must have a problem that requires a full knee sleeve., that's tight and supports side and front.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I have ACL/meniscus reconstruction in 1996 so my knees are not good. I run 3-4mi 28 days a month. I cannot run longer distances b/c my knees turn to jelly. Looking for additional support of my prior surgical war injuries, I tried this Pro-Tec support wrap.

I have not run beyond my normal distances since owning the wrap b/c I dont want to risk gimping up as usual, but I HAVE found that I seem to be running my usual distances and repetitions with less overall stress to my repaired knee. For $20 or so, it was a low-risk/high-reward chance and so far I think I will keep wearing it. I am having no ADVERSE affects thats for sure. Whether Im living a placebo or its actually giving me patella/rear ACL support, I dont know. I just know Im feeling competitively strong at the moment. I also have the CEP RX knee brace which is much larger and more thorough in its support, but try not to wear it unless I have to. I may end up buying another Pro-Tek wrap for my less injured knee just as preventive maintenance. I reserve the right to change my opinion on these things as circumstances change, but I will not be returning mine as of this writing.

I ran 2 marathons in 2013 and experienced IT band syndrome after each. Training for Boston Marathon and purchased this strap. It has really helped. Very easy to use. Be sure to place on leg per instructions. Keeps the IT band stable. I have worn it up to a 14 mile run and it stayed in place. Probably helped having kinesio tape under it. Stays in place though without. May need adjusting sometimes. Highly recommend for anyone having IT band issues. Well worth the purchase! I have even worn it around the house after runs when the IT band is bothering me and it relieves pain.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I run 5 days a week and have used knee straps for over 20 years.
These straps are sleek and simple to use. They don't bind up or irritate behind my knees nor do they rub the fronts of my knees.
Pretty great product.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I bought this because I was having knee pain during running. It completely eliminated my knee pain BUT caused a flare-up of my existing ankle injury (on the same leg). I think by stabilizing the knee it caused my ankle to be a little out of whack. But it's hard if not impossible to stabilize one body part without affecting another. If you have knee trouble and no history of ankle/hip problems on the same leg I'm sure this would be very helpful.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I have had patellar tendonitis for some time now. I love to boxjump and do triple extension lifts. Before using these straps my knees would feel like someone hit them with a sledgehammer when I did a jumping workout. I mean really sore folks. I couldn't even touch my knees because they hurt so bad internally. After I bought these....nothing. I thought it was just a fluke. Nope. Every time now...nothing. Buy them and stop hurting. Can't recommend enough if you have knee pain.

I'm a 68 year old runner that averages 25 miles per week. On 10 mile runs I was beginning to get some knee pain so invested in the IT band . Two 10 mile runs with it and no pain. Hoping for a knee pain free half marathon soon.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I use it daily, so far it does what it's supposed to.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

Helps for the injury; however, it often folds down and creases behind the knee and is uncomfortable after about 20 putting it on.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

Even though I keep it pretty tight, to be sure of effectiveness, this minor discomfort is a LOT better than the pain I was experiencing before. Maybe I will loosen it a bit for more comfort, but not yet...

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

Gave lots of support during my runs, however, I had severe pain the next day. This product was probably not designed for my specific problem. (Torn patella tendon, surgery 3 times to repair.)

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I got this out of "panic"--my knee was bothering me. I got this and it's hard to find out exactly where to put it (I think my knees are the problem). But, the only thing worth saying is that I got a medium (I'm 5'4" female, 120 lbs) and I don't think it could be any smaller--the Velcro barely wraps around. So measure before buying!

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I followed instruction on how to zies this and it was WAAAAAAY too small. I measured just below my knee cap at 12.5 inches and ordered a medium. The length of the whole brace just barely fit around my knee...let alone having any strap to tighten. Based on teh size of this one - I probablty would need an XL!!Wonder if the one I got was just defective.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

Because I am taking several measures for knee pain at the same time, I can't say for sure that it works. But I am running longer and harder without enough pain to interfere with my races and workouts. Since I plan on continuing using supplements, heat, ice, massage, etc, it's unlikely that i'll ever be sure if the device works by itself, but since the pain did lessen soon after I started using it, I am assuming it helps. It is no trouble using it. Comfortable and simple and quick to put on. The big test will come when I start upping my long runs later in the season.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

This has been a godsend for fib head pain. I occasionally have pretty severe fib head pain when I increase my weekly running miles to train for a longer event, especially marathon. My tight calf muscles push the fib head forward. This used to be so debilitating on long runs that I'd have to call home for a ride. This baby is the next best thing to bringing along my PT. I put it on fairly tightly just under my kneecap and it keeps me on the road, pain-free.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Knee Support Wrap Injury Recovery:

I bought this after some chronic knee soreness from running that began to affect my sleep habits. After purchase and use, my soreness is greatly reduced. I don't find it noticeable now but for the first few runs I was aware of it around my knee. It definitely does not replace the value of good stretching and quad strength training.
