Patella Tendon Strap

Targeted Support for Pain Below the Kneecap

Dealing with pain, tenderness or discomfort just below your kneecap?

The Active & Able Patella Tendon Strap provides focused support directly beneath the kneecap, helping to reduce strain through the patella tendon during walking, running, training, sport and everyday movement.

Rather than covering the whole knee, the strap applies targeted compression exactly where it is needed, while allowing your knee to continue moving freely.

Lightweight, adjustable and easy to wear, it’s a simple option for anyone looking for extra support around the patella tendon without the bulk of a full knee support.

Support Where Your Knee Needs It

Pain below the kneecap can become particularly noticeable during activities involving repeated knee bending, running, jumping, stairs or exercise.

A patella tendon strap is different from a traditional knee sleeve because it doesn’t compress the entire knee. Instead, it sits directly beneath the kneecap and applies focused pressure across the patella tendon.

This targeted design can help reduce strain through the tendon during movement while leaving the rest of your knee unrestricted.

The result is simple, focused knee support without having to wear a larger, bulkier brace.

Designed for Running, Sport and Everyday Movement

The Patella Tendon Strap is a versatile option for people who want additional knee support while remaining active.

It is particularly suited to:

• Running and jogging
• Football and other field sports
• Gym training
• Activities involving jumping
• Walking and longer walks
• Repeated bending of the knee
• Everyday activity
• Localised tenderness or discomfort below the kneecap

Its slim design also means it can be worn without covering the entire knee, making it a practical option for regular use.

Silicone Gel Padding for Focused Support

Inside the strap is a thick integrated silicone gel pad positioned to sit across the patella tendon.

This provides cushioning while helping distribute pressure across the area beneath the kneecap.

Combined with the adjustable fastening, you can alter the compression to find a secure and supportive fit without unnecessarily restricting movement.

Who Is It For?

The Patella Tendon Strap may be suitable if you:

• Experience pain, tenderness or discomfort below the kneecap
• Want additional patella tendon support during exercise
• Run, play sport or regularly perform activities involving repeated knee bending
• Want targeted support rather than compression around the entire knee
• Prefer a lightweight and less restrictive knee support

One Size Fits Most

The Patella Tendon Strap features a fully adjustable design and is one size fits most.

Simply tighten or loosen the fastening until the strap feels secure and supportive.

The strap should feel snug without causing excessive pressure, numbness or restricting circulation.

How to Wear Your Patella Tendon Strap

• Position the strap directly below the kneecap, over the patella tendon
• With the strap loosened, slide it into position or wrap it around the knee
• Fasten the strap securely
• Adjust the tension evenly from both sides until you achieve a comfortable level of support
• Make sure the strap feels supportive without restricting circulation
• Readjust during activity if required
