Knee Band Straps

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.

Unlike most other knee bands, 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 ProBand KneedIt Band strap is our 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 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 the best value for money knee strap on the market and gets great reviews. And we love the colour choice! Average user rating 4.4/5.

The Neo G patella knee band features a silicon pad, designed to be worn directly below the kneecap, over the patellar tendon. This helps to provide greater targeted compression and support.

It also has plastic loops for tightening the band which makes it easier to apply and ensure a good fit than with other straps.

All Neo G braces are designed by orthopedic professionals and registered as Class 1 Medical Devices. Neo G are also partners with The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy in the UK so they are a very trusted brand.

Our Verdict: We really like the design of this Neo G strap with the loops rather than just being a strip that you wrap around - easier to get a good fit. Average user rating 4.3/5.

The McDavid Jumpers Knee Strap has a unique tubular buttress which applies constant, mild compression on the patellar tendon. It is perfect for people who do lots of running and/or jumping.

The McDavid patellar knee band strap has fully adjustable Velcro for the perfect fit – one size fits all.

Our Verdict: The foam cushion in the McDavid knee band helps this strap stay in place therefore providing consistent support. It receives really good  reviews from users. Average user rating 4.3/5.

The ACE Knee Strap is the only knee band on the market that doesn't just wrap around the knee, it is dual adjustable.

There are two slightly different designs available, one has a small side side tab that can be pulled, the other a small dial to turn to tighten the strap once the velcro has been fastened.

Our Verdict: The ACE knee strap has the added advantage of being dual-adjustable which helps to ensure a good fit, but it isn't always in stock unfortunately. Average user rating 4.2/5.

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
