Vive IT Band Strap - Iliotibial Band Compression Wrap - Outside of Knee

This strap kept my walking very comfortable during my vacation. It stays in place well. For warmer weather a thin handkerchief underneath the strap helps if you're perspiring. Most of the time the strap alone works fine.

Happiest I’ve been with a product in a very long time. Signed up for an Ironman 70.3 and during 6 months of training could hardly run at all. The bottom corner of my knee would consistently start to hurt right around 1 mile and develop into a sharp pain. I bought this with low hopes, and didn’t even try it until the race. I put it on at transition 2, cranked it as tight as it would go and I hardly felt any pain until mile 10 which was previously unheard of. Even for the remaining couple miles my knee pain stayed very manageable and over all I am very happy with this product.

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'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.

I had ordered this strap previously. It worked well and helped my knee during exercise so I ordered a second one. Same brand and the pictures on the advertisement were identical to the one I already owned. I just did a reorder from my first time ordering. The product I received was not identical to the first one or to the pictures of the advertisement. It does not work as well for my knee. Customer should be notified before shipment if the article is not as advertised.

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!

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.

I really like this band. It is comfortable, can wear all day, band is wide enough but not too wide so is not very noticeable under pants, the buckle makes getting just the right tension perfect, stays put on leg. The key feature on this band, for me, is the buckle.

This product allowed me to run at moderate pace comfortably without the sharp pain of the it band. However this is not the end all be all product. You have to address the main issue why your it band is giving you problem. It could be a tight hamstring/glutes/hip or mobility issue. Address those issues first then use this product to go along with your recovery.

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.
