Great Product ....not for me, January 24, 2012
|
By
Stan(Miramar Beach, Florida)
I have used this product before and it worked very well. But this time it was not the product I needed. Needed a knee product with more side support. I will still keep it in my bag in the event that I can use it in the future.

Knee Strap Stability, December 26, 2011

By
Cindy(Apple Valley, CA)
While the ChoPat Dual Action Knee Strap does not take any of my pain away, it does provide stability for my knee when walking and playing with toddlers. I would recommend this knee strap to anyone who needs knee support.

This knee brace really helps to provide support for knees that are having some stability problems or, as with mine, an old meniscus tear. Nothing else works as well as this brace.

Works great, December 18, 2011
|
By
Chas(Seattle, Wa)
I read about this brace in a skiing magazine & thought I would give it a try. After wearing it a few hours I felt and heard a pop from my knee cap. No pain from the popping noise, however the joint felt like something moved back in alignment tension relieved.
I have been wearing it at work and when I walk for several days & there is a great improvement in movement of the knee and lack of pain. Great product, plan on wearing while hiking,skiing & biking when needed.

Exclnt. product, outrageous shipping chg., November 25, 2011
|
By
Debb, SnowSpirit(Caribou, Maine)
First, for an item that weighs less than 3ozs. to be shipped in a small padded envelope via Fedex for $10.00 and takes 10 days to be processed & arrive is ridiculous and a huge disappointment.
The product however, is excellent. Light weight, comfortable with an excellent fit, does NOT SLIP or slide out of place on skin or over clothing and really kicks butt on the pain. I am able to hike, climb, snowshoe, practice Yoga and dance free of pain while wearing it and, if I'm cautious, up to two days after I remove it. More specific measuring instructions on their site would be helpful. I am a senior and highly recommend this brace.

Great Discovery That Relieved My Pain, June 5, 2011
|
By
Busy Mom and Small Business Owner(San Diego)
The discovery of Cho Pat and the Dual Action Knee Strap was the best knee product I have ever run across. It relieves my pain instantly and my knee feels much stronger when I wear it for walking and exercise. It is comfortable since the front of the knee is open. I need knee surgery for a minor torn meniscus and this product makes my knee feel much better! Very innovative product!

Cho-Pat Duel Action Knee Strap, May 20, 2011
|
By
John(Mass)
I've had three othro-scopes on my left knee and could not continue my daily walks due to pain. I ask my surgeon if a brace would help. He said it was a waste of money. I went on line and saw the Cho-Pat brace and thought, why not. I have been using the brace for about 7 years now and I walk 3 miles a day without any pain. I have recommended the brace to several friends with the same results

By
MM(Tucson, AZ)
This brace may help you depending on the physical problem in your knee. It did not help with mine. My problem pain where a microfracture procedure was done for a chip in the articular cartiledge on the medial side of the head of the femur.
I have a carbon fiber cutom brace that unloads that area. It works for hiking. However, it is large and cumbersome. I guess I willl stay with that. It was worth a try. Good Luck.

On my 3rd season using this dual action knee wrap and I love it. I'm an avid hiker/climber/skier and it's the best knee protector so far. I've tried other brands but this beats them all and my knees doesn't get sore at the end of whatever I'm doing! All you baby boomers(like me)...be proactive and protect your knees!

ChoPat made my mother's day! (and my Daugter's too), January 18, 2011

GirlAirstream(Ridgefield, WA)
I ordered 3 cho-pat dual action knee straps, two for my 69 year young mother, and one for my teen daughter. My mother is a caregiver, full time, and still works-she was looking for relief before her surgery(She has been putting off for 8 years now)and Cho-Pat has given her some needed relief and she is using less pain medications-Horray! My teen daughter has a left knee problem and it has given her confidence that her knee will not give out in class or between. Well worth the money.

By
She(Shenandoah County Virginia)
I have Osteo Arthritis. These are my second Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Straps. I lost a good deal of weight and have kept it off for 5 years so I shrunk out of the first ones I had. They were still like new after 3 years of wear and I passed them on to my daughter who is still wearing them. She works on her feet 3 - 12 hours days a week, on concrete in a 1.5 million square foot warehouse! They really "support" her. I am now happily back to having my straps at hand when I need them.

Prolonged or prevented Hip surgery, October 22, 2010
|
By
Roy(Murfreesboro, Tn.)
Apparently bone to bone contact at the hip juncture affects the nerves in and out of the knee, causing the knee to buckle.
The dual action knee strap has significantly reduced the knee buckle by incorporating compression on the tendons above and below the knee.
Just purchased my second dual action knee strap

By
Miguel the hydrographer(Los Angeles, Ca)
After three knee operations and a knee replacement in my near future I was looking for something to help me extend the time before I would need a knee replacement. I never thought a knee strap would work better than any of my knee braces, but it did. This knee stap relieves alot of the pain that I would get from just walking. Its light weight and easy to clean, and its inexpensive.

It does help, when one's knee is misaligned, August 28, 2010
|
By
Sifu 88(Chantilly, VA)
I was skeptical but found the Cho Pat dual action knee strap to be effective in keeping my knee aligned and all of its moving parts inplace when it was injured. Surprisingly, by immobilizing excessive movements in my weakened knee (caused by a temporary loosening of the ligament from sports) and thus exercising it lightly, I recovered more quickly than relying on ice and rest alone.
If one strained one's knee due to excessive exercise and does not require reparative surgery and/or physicial therapy, I recommend this simple yet effective device as a facilitative tool for a more rapid recovery and return to sport or exercise

I read about this knee strap on a runners web site. I am training to run a marathon. I have gteat shoes with great inserts but my knees still hurt during and after running. I love how this strap wraps around and how I can adjust the tension, unlike the ones you have to pull up your leg to get it on. I can tell a world of difference now, running with this knees strap. Sometimes my knees might be a bit achey but nothing like before! I'll never run with out them again.... and this site deffinatly had the best price.

I recently purchased the Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Strap and highly recommend it.
I had knee surgery performed a few years ago on an interior Meniscus. I have been wearing it for a few weeks now, and find it works wonders by relieving pain and adding much needed support to my knee.
I like this product so much that I will be ordering another one for whenever the one I have wears out.
Thank you so much!

I just hiked Half Dome at Yosemite National Park, and found the braces very helpful. My knees had bothered me on previous hikes, so that was one of my main concerns. The braces freed me of the worry of my knees going out of place, and although I had a little very minor stiffness, as could be expected, my knees were stabilized, so I never had pain, and they've recovered fairly quickly.

I got my dual action knee straps for both my knees. As soon as I took them out of the package I put them on. I knew right then that I had spent my money wisely. The straps give the proper pressure to the tendons that have been bothering me for too long. Other than a few adjustments in proper tension for long term wear I would say this is the best product I have bought for my knees. Give them a try.

I have chondromalacia in both knees from patella maltracking from years of running. Sadly at age 34, I couldn't even walk around the mall for a few hours without my knees swelling and being painful. My doctor recommeneded these, and I am on my third pair. I have been able to excercise without any pain or swelling for six years now. I owe my physical fitness to this product. My only regret is not finding them sooner. The best money you will ever spend!

Better but no miracle, March 20, 2010
|
By
Dave(San Diego, CA)
Perhaps too soon to tell, I am 56, 150 lbs. about 25 years ago, while active with road biking, raquetball, skiing and karate my right knee would swell, need to be "clicked" and routinely would be worse 24-36 hours after strenuous exercise. Had 2 surgeries within 9 months on r knee for the same diagnosis of tight IT band and chondromalacia. Never right again. Found my level of exercise had been reduced to yardwork, swimming with pool bouys and walking.
Last year I said to heck with it, went back slowly on road bike, but soon riding very aggressively (at least for me) 15-30 mile rides, avg 23-23 mph. In the last 8 months have added mountain biking. Ride of some sort at most every other day. Very few knee complaints, ecstatic and tended to push harder every opportunity. Last month both knees have been barking,ugly clicking and swelling or days, decided to try Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee straps for both knees. First MB ride:symptom free, first RB ride: symptom free, next RB ride, knees are a barking and swollen. Perhaps I need to realize these are not magical but helpful.

The cho-pat dual action is great. It's not bulky like the other braces out there. People don't even notice it under my dockers. I wear it for everyday wear. It works great for my arthritis that flares up from running on it. I would definitely buy a gain and recommend it to my friends.

I have been using another brand of brace and it seemed to work ok. But didn't give the support I needed. I now have a lot less pain in my knee when working out.

Just as good the second time around, February 10, 2010
|
By
Jim Lawyer(Minneapolis)
I bought the knee strap when I was having serious pain while bicycling long distances. (I had originally seen the ad in Bicycling Magazine.) After about a month of use, I no longer needed it. About three years later, I was again experiencing knee pain while trying to work out during the long Minnesota winter. Of course, I couldn't find my old brace and I ordered another. I was surprised that it arrived in about two days. I'm using it and, once again, it permits me to engage in strenuous exercise. I can't recommend it more strongly. I'm a lawyer by trade and I'm usually complaining (on behalf of clients) to merchants who don't deliver. So it's a bit of a novelty to me to be offering this type of glowing recommendation.

Dale(Hayward,ca)
This is my second one. Knees have been weekend from running 5 miles 3x's a week. Eliminates knee pain and allows me to golf 3-4 days a week.
The alternative was knee replacement.

Great Productf, January 7, 2010
|
By
Jarr Bink(Edwardsville, Il)
I had ACL, MCL and meniscus surgery on my knee and was out of tennis for 2 years.
When I started playing again, I noticed that a lot of girls on my team were wearing this knee strap,and they just raved about it. I went home ordered one and have been playing tennis with it ever since, it is wonderful, it gives my knee great support. This is the second one I ordered, I gave my old one to a friend with a bad knee who wanted to try it. She never gave it back.
Shipping was very fast also.

I receive this product 24 hours after I ordered it,what customer service. I always have knee pain after playing tennis, but not after I played with my new knee strap. I just got back from a winter golf vacation and I am crediting the knee strap with impoving my drive an extra 100 yards!

Cho Pat Dual Action Knee strap, December 21, 2009
|
By
Bob the Enginer and X Jock(Gulf Shores, Al )
This is my second order for this product. When my first set came up missing I rushed to order a second set. They are very helpful in controlling the pain in my aging jock knees! ( Sadly my second set still has not been delivered and the company is resending the order.) I have played sports ALL of my life and now at 69 I am still very active. Using this product I am able to mantain a decent level of mobility with minimal pain.

Excellent product for anyone who's had ACL surgery., December 20, 2009
|
By
RockyG(Ponca City, OK)
After ACL surgery 5 years ago my knee has never been the same. It's been difficult to work out due to the pain as I have a tendancy to overdue in both work and play. I had a regular "jumper's knee single band that worked okay. However, the dual action knee strap gives you more stability and I can feel the difference when I'm on the treadmill or golf course. Obviously, I like the product and highly recommend it, even if you just have a sore knee due to everyday stress and strain.

Repeat Customer Experience, November 13, 2009
|
By
Jay the Marathoner(West Orange, NJ)
I'm a 50-year old marathoner who has completed 46 races on the way to completing 100. I weigh 208 pounds, and my pronation tends to cause tendonitis. I'm on my 4th Cho-pat dual action knee strap. Originally 4 years ago I bought it for my right knee, then I went to both knees. I consider it as important to extending my running life as my treadmill (a professional-grade True). The secret seems to be that the Cho-pat tightens the knee tendons, which keeps them from accumulating irritation that results in tendonitis. When I run on the treadmill, I wear shorts and the straps, but after about 10 miles the straps become loose and I have to re-tighten them. When I run 26.2 mile races I wear either full-length tights or knee-length, which hide the straps and keep the velcro attached throughout the entire 26 miles. This is a great product for anyone who is serious about continuing to be active despite overuse-related knee pain.

Keeps me in the game!, November 8, 2009
|
By
R.C.(Shady Cove, Oregon)
I've been playing Racquetball and tennis for 8 years. When I first started I had bad knee pain. I used many store-bought brands, and types to no success. Then I spotted Chopats on the internet and ordered two Dual Action Knee Straps. These have been a miracle. I haven't had any pain since.
I lost one,so now I'm ordering a replacement.
Thanks Chopat for the games!

Worth every penny!!!, October 9, 2009
|
By
Red(Attleboro, MA)
This was suggested by my orthopod,who told me taping was better but the strap was good also. I initially hesitated getting this because I was taping my knee. However tape was costly since I had problems with it sticking to my skin(even with skin prep) I was in awe the very first day I wore it. Absolutely no knee pain when I was wearing it. I did normal activity at work and even took the stairs,which I had been avoiding, no pain! What a difference it made to my day!
It took a little getting use to and I have to wear wider pant legs but all in all a very good product that delivers what it says.

Does what it says...stops the knee pain, September 28, 2009
|
By
Darlene(Pensacola, FL)
My husband and I just joined a bowling league and after one night of bowling I thought I would have to quit because of my knee pain. My daughter had one of these Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Straps from a prior knee injury and I tried it and I must say it was like a miracle. After using it I had no pain at all and ordered 2 that very day. Thanks to this product I am now doing something I am really enjoying pain free.

Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Strap, September 21, 2009
|
By
Becky(Bronx)
This is a great product to have for someone with bad knees. I have problems with both knees and I refused to give up exercising. Therefore, using the Cho-Pat, it has allowed me to continue my exercise routine of jogging in the outdoors and treadmill. I would recommend this product for those who are looking for a great need support.

Convenient, Effective, Inexpensive, September 10, 2009
|
By
Bonsai Jim(Bowie, MD)
A minor complaint: When not in use, if the Velcro straps are not fastened, they will 'grab' the fabric of the cuff and fray it after a while. At this point it seems only a cosmetic issue.

Saw an ad in The Atlantic, it looked like it had the support my trainer had told me about and I decided to give it a try. Used it for the first time today, and what a difference. I could squat, do the elliptical, etc. and my knees felt wonderful. What a relief.

Can't run without it!, September 1, 2009
|
By
Roisin the Runner girl(White River Jct, VT)
This is my second one. I didn't follow directions well the first time and ruined mine by washing and drying it after each run. The velcro no longer stuck! I was told by my sports medicine doc that a brace would not help my runner's knee but my stubborn self did not lissten. I've tried several other braces and was somewhat satisfied but this one is truly the best. It's so small that it doesn't hinder my other muscles from their growth like other longer braces. I got one for my son, a 7th grade QB and he is hooked as well!

The knee strap fixed it for me!!!!, August 10, 2009
|
By
chrisL(Frestone Valley, western Sonoma County California)
Having a really bad problem with arthritis in my knee, I've tried just about everything...my doctor said the next option was three injections of Supartz right into my knee cap. Well, did that. Still having problems...less problems...but still problems going up and down stairs. Saw the knee strap in Men's Journal Magazine and ordered one. I have it on right now. Probably am going to have to get another one just to make certain I'm never without it. It did for me what those injections didn't. Hopefully, my next step, having the doc go in and "clean it out" and the step after that, "knee replacement surgery" are on the side track for now.

I have used this knee brace for years and it is the only one that works for the kneecap. I have tried them all and this is the most comfortable and ease to use. It works wonders. I would not leave home without it on long trips with lots of walking and step climbing. I have a kneecap that dislocates.
