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

Of course this isn't a cure for ITB syndrome or tendinitis, but it actually helps relieve pain temporarily. I wear it when exercising, when on long driving trips, or any time the pain is extra bad. Just recently the pain was preventing me from sleeping, and I wore this overnight, and it worked!

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 bought these IT band straps to help with outside knee pain from running, and they’ve made a noticeable difference. The compression hits right where it’s needed and helps reduce discomfort during workouts and longer walks. I especially like that it comes in a 2-pack, so I can keep one in my gym bag and one at home. The neoprene material feels sturdy but still comfortable against the skin, and the adjustable Velcro makes it easy to customize the tightness. Once positioned correctly, it stays in place pretty well without sliding around too much. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it can take a little trial and error to find the perfect placement, and if worn too tight it can feel a bit bulky under leggings. But overall, it provides solid support and good value for the price. If you’re dealing with IT band syndrome or lateral knee pain, this is definitely worth trying before moving on to more expensive options.

I have been using it and it has helped to aliviate the pain.

I would have liked to give this item 5 stars, as I was previously having knee pain caused by my IT band when running. My physical therapist recommended using an IT compression band. The very first time I used this band, I took other users' advice and wrapped it fairly tightly around my leg. I had no pain during my run, which I was very happy about. However, upon finishing my run and removing the band, I noticed that it had split in two places. It was the very first time I used it, and I only ran 1.5 miles - about a 15 minute run. I'm attaching a photo to show where the band tore. From everything I've read about these bands, I've watched videos and read articles about how to use them, they are supposed to be wrapped fairly tightly around the leg. I definitely didn't wrap it too tightly, so there shouldn't have been a reason for this product to malfunction. I am disappointed at the quality of the band, although now I know that this style of band does help. I am returning this particular brand and buying from another brand.

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.

Amazed at how well this worked. Pain left almost immediately. Easy to wash and helped me recover in weeks.

Absolutely amazing. Was getting severe ITB pain at 2km, but I just did a 5km today with zero pain at all.

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.

The best quality IT Band I’ve owned.
