TechWare Pro Knee Brace Support - Knee Braces for Knee Pain. Relieves ACL, LCL, MCL, Meniscus Tear, Arthritis, Tendonitis Pain. Dual Stabilizers Non Slip Neoprene. Adjustable Bi-Directional Straps -5 Sizes

(review by my husband living with bone on bone, tendonitis, fluid, on both knees) Great knee brace! I plan to buy another one for my other knee! It feels so comfortable and helps so much with support and helps me be able to do the things I need to with less pain.

Where do I begin? Very well constructed. It's made from quality materials and the attention to detail with regard to its features is excellent. It works. My kneecap doesn't shift around when I walk (use it for exercise walks and dog walking)...that occasional "niggle" of pain is gone. It's comfortable. When walking, I forget there's anything there (except for the absence of pain). The Velcro tabs don't stick out and look lumpy under my jeans. This was an unexpected bonus. It's easy to put on...my other adjustable ones always seemed to need more fiddling with to get just right. It doesn't bunch up while I'm walking...like some of the other non-adjustable ones used to do. It fits just right...it doesn't mind that my upper knee area is a bit...ahem...more developed than it should be. Ahhh....the fit....feels good. I'm glad a bought a back-up for when I wash it and it needs to dry before wearing again. I'd hate to have to substitute one of the old ones for those days. UPDATE: Three months later (wearing once a day for a 4 mile walk), the Velcro no longer sticks to the fuzzy fabric. No matter how much I bend my knee before affixing, it pulls apart the minute I start to walk (and, no, I don't walk funny). Why can't this manufacturer use Velcro for both sides of the attachment? Fuzzy stuff just doesn't hold up. [Iron-on Velcro won't hold on the fuzzy and it's too hard for me to get a needle through...I was so hoping I could fix this.] My search continues...I won't bother buying another one of these at this price. UPDATE 2 (same day as update 1): I added in one of the stars I'd deducted. TechWare contacted me without my asking...and offered a replacement for the support I'd just trashed and potentially a replacement for the second support I'd purchased at the same time as that one...which I just started using this morning and so can't evaluate it. Great customer service deserves a star of its own. Thanks, Ted! UPDATE 3: The second one I'd bought is not showing any signs of Velcro inadequacy. I'm thinking I just got a funky one the first time. Thanks, again, Ted!!! UPDATE 4: All of mine started showing signs of weak Velcro....definitely not a heavy duty version of the stuff. BUT If you otherwise like this one as much as I do, get yourself some Handy Bands (Amor Imports) to secure the knee brace straps. They work wonderfully and will extend the life of your knee brace.

I was looking for braces that I didn't have to pull up over my calves/legs because it's a pain when I have pants on. Also for smaller ones than the big black ugly ones that I got from my ortho doctor. These are nice so far, they are easy to fit to your leg, and the straps hold up to motion very well. I put them on and did yard work, which entailed a lot of bending and walking around. They held up fine, no gapping or loosening of the straps, and since they don't cover as much of the leg as the others do, they were really comfortable as far as that goes. They supported my knees perfectly, I didn't have any pain or tired feeling from them. I have arthritis in my knees, no injury or anything like that, so I need just support around the kneecap. These fit the bill very well, and the color is neutral, which is also something I want. I'd recommend these to anyone who wants a decent brace for doing moderate activity. They appear to be very durable, so I'm hoping that I will get plenty of use out of them. Any changes and I will update my review.

I twisted my knee recently and it put me out of running while it heals. Not exactly sure what was damaged, but in fact it didn't bother me at first until I went for my regular run the next day. At the three mile point my knee actually blew out (astonishingly even sounding like getting a flat tire), and that was painful temporarily but still managed to finish the run with minimal pain. However, things went downhill from there and I knew a support would be needed. The TechWare brace does support the knee when putting full weight on the leg such as when standing up after being seated. Fortunately all pain goes away when walking or doing low impact exercise such as riding a bike, and so the brace is not needed. A mile down the road all pain goes away as if there was never any injury. But it comes back later, and is a real annoyance, and this is when I strap on the TechWare knee brace. The wrap design allows the brace material to be cinched up very tightly, and that provides the necessary support that holds the muscles and ligaments tightly in place, minimizing stress on the knee. I have never lost circulation in the leg while the wrap was fully tightened. It also prevents the knee pain caused when the leg is stretched straight. Keeping the leg bent somewhat at night relaxes the knee and allows all pain to subside, only returning again when hopping out of bed. The TechWare Pro knee support seems to be working fine and I intend to wear it often while the knee mends, until I can once again put full weight on the leg without feeling pain. And I trust that the knee will mend eventually just like all the other stupid setbacks I have been forced to wait out over the years. Using the injured limb while it mends has always been the remedy that will allow it to regain full abilities again. I expect the same results with my knee.

I was hoping to eliminate the combo support that I have to wear on my bad knees. I wear a Physix compression sleeve under a Chopat knee strap. The Physix compression sleeve lends overall compression/support to my knee area to reduce swelling and add a little widespread stability. The Chopat knee strap is a 2 part support strap that has little neoprene "tubes" on the inside that hit right above and right below my knee to basically hold it together and keep it stable. This Techware knee brace completely covers the knee except for a hole for the knee cap. For me, it serves the same function as a compression sleeve except it gives much more firm and stable support which can be adjusted, which is great. I measured my knee as instructed and was almost in between sizes. I could have technically worn an XL but chose to size up and it was a good choice. The XXL knee brace fits perfectly. I like that it has 3 straps for more adjustability in the places I need most. The velcro is very strong and sticks where you put it without moving. It's made of thick, good quality material. Here's the part I have a problem with: while it does support my knee in an overall, widespread kind of way. It doesn't have the targeted support that I need like the Chopat knee strap. Maybe my knee is just too bad to expect too much from a non-custom made brace. However, I will say that if it just had those little neoprene "tubes" built into the underside of the brace that would hit right above and below the knee when fastened, I'd give this brace 5 stars because it would lend more stability by holding the knee joint more firmly. Just look up Mueller knee strap or Chopat knee brace and read about what I mean. Unfortunately, those straps don't have the coverage I need and this brace, while it has the coverage, doesn't have the targeted support I require. My search continues until I break down and get a knee replacement. It's an OK brace. It does stop my knee from hurting when I'm sitting around so I'm going to keep it. It just doesn't have enough support if I'm going to be active. If they ever come out with a version that has the little support tubes built in as I suggest, I'll be the first in line to get one!

Easy to use. Used my sisters when my knee was hurt. Worked so well I ordered my own! My knee hurting is a recurring problem so need this on hand. I have worn it under and over my pants or just against my skin. I had no chafing. It looks like it’ll be easy to keep clean. Oh I’ve also worn it to bed and it didn’t bother my sleeping. It seems to be very well made/ sewn.

I've decided to give the TechWare Pro Knee Brace size XXL a five-star review only because I don't have any other brace to compare this one to. I have been having pain and weakness in my knee off and on for the better part of four years. I have tried countless OTC creams and medicines. Icy Hot with Lidocaine pain relieving cream combined with 4 Ibuprofen would last the longest, about two-three hours, before my knees would stiffen up again. I even purchased KT Tape. This product was somewhat helpful, but not quite good enough. I had been wanting to purchase a brace to see if it would help. But, it's almost impossible to find one in my size. I tried using "Ace Bandages" to wrap my knee. But, as soon as I would start to walk, the bandage would roll down no matter how I wrapped it my knee. Or, I would wrap too tight and the pain from the pressure would be worse than my knee pain. Fast forward to about two weeks ago when I found this product. I measured my lower thigh and knee. And, found the the XXL would be the right fit...I hoped. The first day I wore this brace, it was tight! But, it held my knee in a more stable position. I actually was able to get out of the car (putting all my weight on my bad knee) with a lot less effort than the day before! As I walked, I could feel the brace holding my knee in place, which was what it should be doing on its own instead of arching outward. After three or four days of wearing the knee brace (6:00am-6:00pm) I felt like I could get up from a seated position a bit faster with less pain! Not totally pain free, just better than before. And, it began to occur to me that my excruciating ankle pain wasn't actually killing me. I just hurt a little. I guess that when you walk improperly for a long time, other things start hurt and become weak because you'r whole body is out of balance. Who knew? And, the other thing I found out was that my other knee was sore. I only noticed it because I wasn't hyper focused on my "bad knee" any more! I think there is a second TechWare Pro Knee Brace purchase in my future.... As far as the stiffness of the brace when I first put it on, that lessened as I wore the brace more and more. It's kind of like breaking in a new pair of shoes. The brace fabric relaxed a bit, which made it fit much better. The velcro is super strong, too! So, there is no "peeling up" of the support bands. Also, there is a rubber grip strip on the top and bottom of the inside of the brace that keeps it from slipping. After wearing the brace all day, sitting different positions, and walking around, I find that the brace does move slightly after about 4 hours. But, you have to take into consideration how much your muscles flex when you move around and if you are perspiring, etc. Those factors would affect any kind of support you were wearing. And, It only takes a quick readjustment to get it back into place. So, for now, the brace has exceeded my expectations. Hopefully, over time, my knees, ankles, and back will heal so I can function normally with no pain.

a very good brace. bought because other brace fastners were failing. the velcro on this brace holds very well

2nd purchase. No complains.

Worth it

Buena calidad

I love this product. Good for playing TT and badminton. Specially three strip adjustable

I injured my meniscus on the right side of my left knee. I’m 53 and this is my first knee injury ever. My doctor suggested a soft knee brace. I’m a researcher so I began researching on Amazon. After spending an hour as the soft knee brace was so important to me that I got a good one: I found a beyond excellent one!!!! This soft knee brace is so well made, stays in place once you get the positioning and firmness right, it’s easy to use, and the support is phenomenal. I’m very fussy when it comes to products and I only select well made. Because I want it to do its job well and last the test of time. And this soft knee brace from TECH WARE does exactly that. I’m beyond pleased.
