Today I went out and got the cho-pat strap and put it on before my 5 mile run. It was wonderful! My knee felt better than it has in months.

Are you using the single strap, or the above-and-below one?

 

[diablita]

it's a single strap that goes above the knee. you kind of cinch it in place, and I guess placement can be tricky, but I got it in the right spot. It doesn't cure the ITBS, but prevents the friction that causes the pain symptom by the knee.<br><br>
I tried one of the double strap types a few weeks ago but it didn't do anything.

I was just curious, since I've been using the single-strap one to help my Hinky Knee ?. It seems to help the kneecap track properly or something along those lines.

My ITB boths me on the other end- up by the hip <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

meri, that's how mine started. and the problem is still there; I need to go for more massage so they can work out some of the scar tissue. but in the mean time, if I can keep it from rubbing down by the knee, that helps!
