Vive IT Band Strap - Iliotibial Band Compression Wrap - Neoprene Brace

This thing is incredible! Completely saved my IT band and hiking is pain free! This allowed me to complete my 175 mile thru hike!

I love this band.. I place the pressure portion on my painful area to left of knee, works so well.. No pain at this time ..I wear it to bed ,it's amazing..on a bad day I can wear it all day with no issues and u can't tell ur wearing it..

Wife bought it for a T band problem, it seems to help a lot.

I have been suffering with ITBS knee pain for 2.5 years now. At my current state I can only walk for about a mile before it starts hurting. Yesterday I went to the San Diego zoo and wore this strap and I was able to walk about 7 miles in 4 hours…completely pain free. It stays put very well even with sweaty hairy legs. I have a little pain where the band was squeezing my leg, but I make mine really tight And this pain is much more tolerable than my knee pain. I’m not sure if I can make it looser and get the same results. It just feels like a bruise. I probably won’t wear this everyday because I don’t want to depend on it, but I see it as a must for days I plan on being very active now.

I had ordered this strap previously. It worked well and helped my knee during exercise so I ordered a second one. Same brand and the pictures on the advertisement were identical to the one I already owned. I just did a reorder from my first time ordering. The product I received was not identical to the first one or to the pictures of the advertisement. It does not work as well for my knee. Customer should be notified before shipment if the article is not as advertised.

I've dealt with IT Band Syndrome for a year since injuring my knee 7 miles in to a half marathon that I finished anyway. I ran the same race 2 weeks ago and my knee went out again near the end. I finished again and haven't stopped to let it heal because I had a 5K today. I've been nervous because it hurts must of the time and buckles occasionally. I put on the Vive IT Band strap that I got yesterday before the race, tightened it as much as I comfortably could, and ran the entire race without one single minute of knee pain!! It honestly stopped my pain and stabilized my knee. I was ecstatic. In fact, the band works so well and is so comfortable that I've kept it on all day. And I just ordered a second band to have a spare. I wore mine above my knee while wearing the standard running capris (slicker stretchy light compression type). It didn't slip or cause any discomfort at all. It has a rectangle pad to provide the pressure point on the IT Band in the leg and a stretchy soft rubbery cushioned strap that loops through a ring to fasten with Velcro. It will adjust to a lot of leg sizes with the length of the strap. I can't speak for long term quality yet but it seems well made.

This knee band is extremely long, as if made to fit an obscurely wide range of sizes. This band also strangely has elasticity, and to tighten it around my knee the slack alone wraps almost a whole time around my leg. This makes the strap cumbersome and the elasticity makes it very difficult to tighten the band without stretching and eventually tearing it. Mine tore within a month of use. Not a great band, do not recommend. Update 2 months later and the band has nearly disintegrated, it has at least 7 major tears in the elastic side of the band. This is by far the WORST compression band I have ever purchased. If I could give it a 0 star, I would. Do yourself a favor if you've tried this band with similar experiences, buy a McDavids compression band. You will never go back.

my physical therapist suggested this for knee pain and instability associated w/a lateral meniscus tear. i had been trying to run for several months, managing the pain with kt tape. that was getting expensive and wasteful, and i still felt unstable like i could fall with the slightest wrong step. wearing this band just slightly below my kneecap has brought the pain level to the lowest it has ever been since my injury.

ok

I have started using the ITB strap by Vive for my ITB syndrome. It works like a dream - totally pain free when I use the strap and allows me to train without any issues.

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.

OTTIMO PRODOTTO, MATERIALE DI QUALITA'. SI PRESTA PERFETTAMENTE A RISOLVERE IL PROBLEMA PER IL QUALE HO PROCEDUTO CON L'ACQUISTO.

This is a great band. It saved me when I developed IT band problems 1 month before a half marathon. I placed the band securely around my knee area to support the IT band and I had very little pain during the race. This product is definitely a support and not a cure-all. Better to do PT exercises to strengthen muscles that cause pain in the first place.
