For two decades, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, podiatrists, family-practice physicians, physical therapists and their patients, professional athletes, and active individuals have praised our Knee Strap. Why? Shortly after initial usage, it provides many individuals with a marked reduction in the pain and discomfort caused by various knee disorders -- chondromalacia patella, Osgood Schlatters Disease, runners and jumpers knee, some forms of arthritis, and knee degeneration -- while, at the same time, allows them to return to their normal activities with increased mobility. Cho-Pat"s Original Knee Strap stabilizes and tightens up on the kneecap mechanism by applying pressure upon the patellar tendon below the kneecap. This compression reduces or eliminates inflammation and helps prevent knees from giving out.
