Vive IT Band Strap - Iliotibial Band Compression Wrap - Outside of Knee Pain, Hip, Thigh & ITB Syndrome Support - Neoprene Brace for Running and Exercise - Athletic Stabilizer for Men, Women

Was having very bad knee pain whilst starting out in running and ended up not being able to run at all. I got some exercise bands for strengthening my leg/glutes muscles and this IT band strap for easing back into running. With using this I have not had any knee pain. 100% recommend

I brought this as I'm suffering from a tight it band which causes knee pain. Tried this today and went for a run where I was able to run 5 miles with no pain. Along with rehab exercises and stretching, I'm hoping this will help.

Works well, just a bit slippy.

Didn’t help at all, sent it back

I've always thought knee straps etc were a bit of a "snake oil" type product, but when my ITB problems flared up again, a few weeks before a half marathon, I tried everything to sort them. Rest, Ice, Stretches, Massage etc. All to no avail. I was down to a maximum of 1-2k before crippling knee pain came on. Out of desperation, I tried these. Strapped them up really tight, with the lump right onto the IT band and went out... 5k, pain free! 2 days later I ran a half marathon, completely pain free, and set a PB by 7 minutes. I kind of know the theory of how they work, don't know how they're so effective, but they're an absolute gamechanger. If you've got ITB issues, try them.

I found that this band helps massively, I couldn’t go further than 2km before pain in my outside knee. I’ve used this a handful of times now, and I’ve just come back from an 8km run with minimal discomfort.This isn’t a solution though, it just hides the pain. Pair it with some strength exercises and hopefully the pain will go completely.

The media could not be loaded. Very disappointed.Terrible product. The Velcro does not stick at all, the box it is packaged in is cheap. The item comes with no instructions, I had to Google and find a short and unhelpful YouTube video.Do not buy.

I began suffering IT Band issues in late June, so after stopping running for a few weeks I bought this to wear when I returned to it. It didn't help at all if I'm honest, and actually increased my pain when running. This was every single time no matter how much time off resting I took. Every time I returned to running it was the same story.Now we're in November and I've ran twice this month, after yet another 6 week lay off, without wearing it. Both of those runs have been pain free, so I'd recommend you avoid this buy some resistance bands and Google side leg stretches and clam shell stretches instead
