I enjoy a good workout when I’m in the groove of hitting the gym regularly but, one thing that bothers me is the fact that I can’t really do proper squats or lunges because my left knee popped. itBandz Knee Support is said to be the solution to that problem so, I decided to give one a try.
itBandz Knee Support|$19.95
What is an itBandz Knee Support?
itBandz for Knees are adjustable neoprene patellar knee bands that support and stabilize the knee for people who suffer from knee pain when they are active. Our unique design focuses support directly under the kneecap, mirroring the natural support structure of the knee, to deliver newfound comfort.
Does it Work?
Yes, that’s my leg. It’s winter. We women don’t shave much in the winter so bare with me. I tried the itBandz knee support on my left knee which is the one that pops and feels uncomfortable whenever I work out. It’s starting to even bother me when I run which never used to happen.
I wear knee braces and though there is a little bit of comfort from the pressure of the brace squeezing my knee area it doesn’t stop the popping that happens when I do a squat or lunge. I stopped doing lunges completely as a result.
The minute I placed the itBandz knee support on I felt a difference. There’s some type of ball that fits right on the joint that seems to pop. I tried to do a squat right there and it felt like my knee was protected and kind of being held in place. It felt totally different than when I have a brace on. It was a different kind of pressure. I felt no discomfort doing a squat or a lunge. I did 2 full sets of each with no problem.
How Does it Work?
itBandz knee support stabilizes and supports the knee to provide an optimal solution for knee pain that is comfortable and easy to wear. They help the knee to track properly like a hinge and also act as an additional shock absorber for the knee to protect soft tissue in the area.
itBandz can help with knee pain related to osteoarthritis, meniscus and ACL issues, Osgood-Schlatters, Baker’s Cysts, and more.
Where Can You Purchase?
If you’re planning on participating in repetitive high impact activities like jumping, running, hiking, soccer and/or basketball then an itBandz would be a great and inexpensive investment. They are only $19.95 and available for children, men, and women. The itBandz is also very easy to clean.
You can purchase and itBandz knee support directly on their website.
I use mine every time I workout and it’s made a huge difference in continuousness of my routines. I’m not anticipating pain and flow through my workout.
We’ll be giving one away for Mother’s Day so make sure you come back for that.
I received an itBandz for review purposes. All opinions are mine.
