Cho-PatDual Action Double-Layer Adjustable Knee Strap, Full Mobility and Knee Pain Relief for Chondromalacia, Osgood Schlatter’s, Tendonitis, and Meniscus Tears, Medium

I'm a runner dealing with a torn meniscus and loose cartilage in one knee. I've used this strap for a few runs now and it greatly helps support my knee. I'm able to run with little or no pain during and after.

My son has developed a patella issue and we tried several different braces. He likes this one best for it's low profile and extra support it gives him. Highly recommended.

Bought this as a 2ndry support brace for my knee. I needed something less rigid as my knee heals. Somehow injured it & am dealing with mild arthritis in addition. I find if I need a little more support I put on an ace bandage first then this over it.. seems to work well. The Velcro does seem to catch in certain clothing & other items. Best worn with shorts as a result. Seems solidly constructed overall.

My husband is an avid runner and triathlete. But he’s 74 now. His exact words were “These are the greatest!”No need for knee replacement surgery for my guy. Note he has used other brands but as stated he said by far these were the greatest. Really great quality.

Great. Big help

Feels ok.

I have been using this Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee strap for about 9 years or so. I just now replaced the one I first purchased 9 years ago because one, I lost weight; and two, the velcro finally wore down and no longer provided the compression I needed!In 2003, I had a hiking accident in the mountains - I lost my footing on a trail (after a heavy rain!) and my left knee came down on a flat rock. Needless to say, my knee swelled up like a softball and I couldn't walk for 3 months. Unfortunately, I would have some subsequent accidents (blunt force trauma) to that same knee, which led to the development of chondromalacia. Generally stated, this is the breakdown of cartilage, and I will just say it is very painful. After so much trauma, the cartilage in my left knee was in pieces, and basically ended up being close to being bone on bone. Any type of prolonged walking or exercise was too painful - but not with this dual action strap by Cho-Pat!!You couldn't keep me off the racquetball court, but my knee pain managed to do that. I just refused to give in. I found this product and use it when I practice kickboxing, play racquetball, go for extended walks or a run - I literally cannot exercise without it. If I do, I will have uncontrolled knee pain for days. There is something about the compression and alignment it provides that reduces the pain, and actually prevents further knee pain and inflammation.As I said, this product was a godsend for me, and when it came time to replace it, I kind of scoffed at the price. The thing is that I could "risk" it and order something else and end up with an inferior product and inferior durability. I KNOW firsthand what this product does, how it works, that it works for me and how long it can last. There was NO point in ordering from a different company, so I ordered in a medium (my previous one was an extra-large). It fits perfectly, and provides excellent compression and alignment for my left knee. I wish I had ordered a replacement sooner because my other one slipped a lot (the top part of the band) and the velco was worn out. I just didn't realize how important it was to have it work properly again. The new one doesn't slip at all, which probably means I always wore a size smaller than I was using. Now, I have lost 95lbs, and while the weight loss definitely helps with the pain, it is still there and always will be. However, the Cho-Pat knee strap makes exercise possible for me, and not just any exercise - kickboxing, weight lifting and racquetball!!

This is a good product just not for me.
