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.

55 and still kicking!, March 8, 2010
|
By
Lorenzo from Lansing(Lansing MI)
I heard from a coworker about the knee strap and was hopeful that it was as good as he said it was for him and to my delight, it was great I took a 4 mile run to start the season off and my "bum knee" was pain free. Looking forward to a season of running through my 55th birthday this year afterall!I'm going to order a second one to help support and protect my other leg.

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.

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

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.

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.
