TechWare Pro Knee Brace Support - Relieves ACL, LCL, MCL, Meniscus Tear, Arthritis, Tendonitis Pain. Open Patella Dual Stabilizers Non Slip Comfort Neoprene. Adjustable Bi-Directional Straps - 4 Sizes

This is the first knee brace that I've found for my fat legs (particularly my fat thighs). Other knee braces fit the circumference of my knee and my upper calf but they don't come close to accommodating my generous thighs. Not only can I get this one on, it doesn't immediately slide down and wind up around my ankle. I need have knee replacement surgery but first I need to lose weight which is impeded by not being able to move around much due to knee pain. It is a vicious circle brought on by years of being overweight and working way too many hours at a computer - all of my own doing which I am 100% clear on. Nonetheless, I like to get up and move, walk, go places, be outside, and enjoy myself which is greatly enabled by the act of walking.I purchased this for my right knee as it is in constant pain. After wearing it for just a week, I am now purchasing another for my left knee because now that my right knee is not in constant pain, I am able to feel the pain and discomfort in my left knee.In addition to less pain I have noticed greater mobility in both forward motion and movements that put torque on my knee such as standing still and turning to the side. I can now sit in a chair and do leg lifts in an attempt to strengthen my deteriorated thigh muscles.One the brace is off, I am able to lift my knee without as much pain, use my legs to better push myself up in bed, and can more easily stand from a sitting position without fear of using too much energy and falling flat on my face.I have reduced swelling in (mostly in the back) and around (just below my knee on the upper calf).This isn't a super-duper brace with a hinge that might act as an exoskeleton of some sort but it is study neoprene and has just enough (barely) to fit around my thigh.

I have really thick legs and was worried that I wouldn't find a knee brace to fit. I work at the hospital and am on my feet a LOT so my knees take a toll. Not only does it fit, it's even comfortable and my leg doesn't look like a popped can of biscuits like when I tried to ace wrap it. It doesn't slip and I'm almost shocked that I found the perfect brace. I needed this to work so bad and I couldn't be happier. Thank YOU!!!

I've gone through every type of knee sleeve and brace there is because of lingering pain in one knee from arthritis and post-menisectomy. Sleeves just compress and don't support, and the other braces I've tried are too bulky or shift my knee in one direction or another, not in the direction I want. Today, I received the Tech Ware Pro Knee Brace Support. The moment I started walking with this on today, I actually got teary-eyed with relief. THIS WORKS FOR ME! The key is the bi-directional support. The center strap goes one way, and the upper and lower straps go the other way. I can adjust the tightness of left, right, upper, and lower straps to orient my kneecap just where it needs to be for ultimate support. The profile of the brace is very slim -- so slim that I doubted at first whether it would be supportive enough. But it is! It's tight enough to hold my knee FIRMLY, but it's light and thin enough to allow for leg flexion and extension. I should add that sizing was not an issue. My 6'5", 275-pound husband, who has large limbs, tried it, and it fit him comfortably. (If anyone needs his exact knee/thigh measurements for your own purchasing decision, write to me.) The middle strap was close to the edge, but it did fit. We think that anyone with even larger legs could simply buy a velcro extender and have it work as well. Finally, the material is substantial and tough with very good stitching and anti-skid material on the inside. I paid full price for this knee brace and no one asked me to write a review. I like to leave reviews for products that are exceptionally well-made.

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.

This is totally what I needed ...my knee is slipping in and out and has pain that moves so this is awesome. At the store I searched for a brace that would fit my leg and they were all too small....this is great for a larger thigh above the knee.

Value for money. Gives good support

Worth it

Item returned. Wasn’t what I needed.
