Knee Band Straps

The Run Forever Patella Strap is our star buy knee band. 

It combines excellent quality, fit, comfort, effectiveness and value for money, with great user ratings.

It has a special anti-slip design so stays in place really well - it's not going to slip down while you're exercising. With hooks on both sides, it is full adjustable, giving a much better fit than most other straps which only adjust on one side. 

Made of high quality neoprene with a unique silicone insert, the slim design is lightweight, durable and breathable. It even has a special sweat-absorbing inner pad. 

It is available in a range of colours (black, blue, grey and pink) and in single or double packs.

The ProBand KneedIt Band strap is our next star buy. It isn't the cheapest knee band on the market, but it is the only one shaped to fit around the kneecap and thus provides the best support and excellent patellar tracking. 

There is even a magnetic version (black rather than white) available which is the same design but also two strategically placed magnets. Magnet therapy claims to help by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, promoting general well-being and relaxation all of which help to reduce pain..

This knee band strap was developed by a world renowned Orthopedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Specialist. 

The Bodyprox knee strap is one of the most popular single knee band straps on the market right now. It is extremely effective, comfortable, durable and comes in a pack of 2 making it excellent value.

Like the Run Forever strap, it has two hook and loop fastenings, instead of just one, giving you maximum control to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit.

It features a built-in silicone gel pad and has specially designed venting holes to release excess heat and prevent moisture build-up on your skin.

It is made of high-quality materials making it extremely durable. The thin strap at the back delivers effective support without feeling bulky or restrictive. 

The Mueller Jumpers Knee Strap is a classic. Mueller have been making knee braces for over 100 years and this product never fails to deliver.

A silicon tubular insert provides uniform pressure making it extremely effective at providing support and pain relief.

And for those of you looking for something a bit different, it is available in a range of colours: red, royal blue, green, black, gold/yellow, orange, pink, so there's one for everyone! 

Our Verdict: The Mueller Knee Band strap is a great knee brand strap from a well-known and trusted brand so it's not surprising that it gets great reviews. And we love the colour choice! Average user rating 4.4/5.

The Cho-Pat dual knee strap provides support above and below the knee, dispersing pain and providing immediate relief. Specially designed to ensure constant dynamic support to reduce pain and problems associated with overuse.

The top strap reduces the force through the quads and reduces the potential for misalignment. The bottom strap helps stabilize the kneecap and improve patellar tracking to prevent wear and tear on the back of the kneecap. Available in black or tan and a range of sizes to ensure perfect fit and maximum performance.    

The Mueller Max Knee Strap is lightweight, comfortable double knee band provides targeted compression without reducing mobility. It has 3 compression tubes:

Lower targets the patellar tendon
Upper targets quadriceps malalignment
2 side tubes help improve patellar position, movement and tracking. These all decrease the forces going through the knee cap and friction on the Iliotibial band (ITB) and patella tendons.

Breathable mesh fabric prevents excessive sweating, a common problem with knee braces. One size fits most.

This McDavid Multi Action Knee Strap is a dual knee band with two adjustable buttresses.

These can be placed top and bottom to reduce the forces going through the kneecap and patellar tendon, or at the sides to help prevent patellar subluxation. The two adjustable straps provide optimum fit and comfort.

The McDavid Multi Action Strap is made of neoprene and is available in two sizes S/M and L/XL

Our Verdict: We like the fact that you can move the two buttresses to where you most need them. McDavid is a trusted brand so if this is the right style, you won’t go too far wrong with this one. Average user rating 4.2/5
