Curiosity sake I have bought this knee belt me a week ago, carrying him since the day and notice: Even in this short time is a clear relief occurred, and that alone does the psyche good and makes confident; not to be underestimated aspect of healing.
The Patellar tendonitis is available in four levels, and certainly has the effect of this belt its limits, but for straight times just 13,00 Euro, it should be worth a try.
Several reviewers write here that the tape is useless because it easily slips. I can not confirm. When I put on the flexible belt as described - a bit below the knee cap - then holds the all day there. I suspect, rather, those reviewers put the belt on where the pain is, a little further up. There, however, can not hold the belt. In addition, he does not fulfill his function at this point.
There is also criticism with regard to the difficult creation. Who here has problems, can close the Velcro also front and rotate towards the belt then properly.
There - in the initial stage (and only then!) - Makes sense to launch a ice pack, this can be fixed with the knee belt. In the further course should be treated in rapid succession with ice and heat alternately.
Update March 3: Bin after only two weeks free of symptoms. Complementing this knee belt I have taken the drug diclofenac in tablet form to me.
