Sports Medicine Adjustable Max Knee Single Strap for Men and Women, Compression & Pain Relief Support for Osgood-Schlatter's, Runner's Knee, Patellar Tendinitis, Black

I have some non-specific pain/ache in my left knee, probably due to overuse/runner's knee or just age [I'm an older guy]. My knee responds well to an "Ace" bandage wrap, so I wanted to try something more convenient. So, I ordered this Mueller "Max Knee Strap" as well as the Mueller "moderate" Elastic Knee Brace [size LG/XL], both from Amazon. Both knee braces provide enough compression and/or stability to relieve my pain. However, this one-size-fits-all Max Knee Strap has more adjustment above the knee, so it is more comfortable to wear throughout the day. My thigh, at 2 inches above the knee, measures about 21 inches, which is fine for this Max Knee Strap, but at the extreme limit for Mueller's Elastic Knee Brace. I don't use this Knee Strap while actually exercising [I've taken up rowing on a Concept2 Model D] because I don't need the support for that activity. But, I've been using this both before and after, with great results [minimal or no knee pain]. A good product that works well, and it's a snap [or a velcro pull] to put on or take off, or adjust. EDITED, Oct 2018: I've had the "one size" Max Knee Strap for about 5 years now--still works great--and just now got the "Large/X-Large" size [so I'd have an extra as a back-up]. Comparing them side-by-side, the original "one size" and the current "Large/X-Large" are identical in every dimension, and also identical in materials, construction, stitching, etc. So, unless you need/want the "Small/Medium," suggest you get the cheaper of the "One Size" and the "Large/X-Large."

I find a warm layer is valuable for treating pain under the skin.* So when I put this on, there was a large bare area at the front and back of the knee - well, the bare front of the knee was obvious from the photo and the back of the knee wasn't bare. Chilly-NOT. I only need the support below the knee, but I can leave the top band loose and this knee strap doesn't slide down like my knee support for Only the lower knee. Definitely not what helps me-Wrong. YES!! Maybe I'll try it and like it if I put it over one of the sleeve-type knee-pain items, but Amazon recommended this to me, and I wish I hadn't bought it. *In fact, I got physical therapy for pain relief, and it seemed to help for all my pains except a shoulder. "That's because it's tendonosis," my PT therapist said. After the therapy I just started wearing a double layer of thick warm fabric over the shoulder and the pain disappeared in a couple weeks.

After researching and reading many reviews, I ordered two of these knee straps from Amazon. I had previously tried a very similar product by McDavid (bought from a local big box store), but I decided to give this Mueller product a try for no other reason than it's lower price. I had knee surgery over 10 years ago, and I'm just getting back into working out in a gym and playing racquetball. My knees hurt, but not terribly, so I was looking for some basic support that I could put on and take off quickly and easily...and I didn't want something large or bulky (I used long slip-on sleeves and complicated criss-crossed velcro-strap braces after surgery, and I didn't want to go there again). This knee strap has fit the bill very well. I have been using one on each knee for over three weeks now, and I don't think I could play racquetball without them. I really like the small size. I don't like to draw attention to braces and straps, and the several pairs of black shorts that I wear at the gym cover all but the bottom strap, so they're pretty stealth. I stopped short of giving these 5 stars for two reasons. First, I pull these straps around my knee very tight, and the constant flexing during a racquetball game has caused one of the velcro fastening straps to loosen and pull away on a couple of occaisions. The entire brace didn't fall off because the other velcro strap remained secure. After the point is over, I re-secure the velcro strap, just a little less tight than before, and it stays on (I still get support, just not as much as I had before). Second, I am no expert, but I don't think I would recommend this knee strap for someone needing major support (like right after knee surgery). This strap is small, and provides a decent amount of support...amd I'm very happy with my purchase because it is exactly what I was looking for.

I love this. It is very comfortable and supportive on my knee.Thankyou

I had a lot of knee pain from playing pickleball and this has helped a lot when I play sports.

I’m a regular runner with common knee issue. After putting on Muller Knee Strap it helps to reduce the pain when running. It holds on well and feels very comfortable unlike some other knee guard that is too bulky and restrict the movement.

Non soddisfatta Dopo poco si è allentato, la chiusura a strap non tiene e tende ad aprirsi durante il movimento.

Best to start off at medium tightness and then adjust 30 minutes or so later. I’m replacing 10-yr old ones which have finally started losing the side support tubes (patellar?). Top and bottom ones still ok.
