Do patella bands work?

Yes, a patella band, a thin pressure strip worn under the knee, can help alleviate the pain.

What should I do to avoid patellar tendonitis?

The best treatment for patellofemoral syndrome is to avoid activities that compress the patella against the femur with force. This means avoiding going up and down stairs and hills, deep knee bends, kneeling, step-aerobics and high impact aerobics. Do not wear high heeled shoes.

When should one wear patellar band?

The conditions that the bands are most commonly used for are patellar tendonitis, runners knee, chondromalacia, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and IT Band friction syndrome.

Position the band below the bottom of the kneecap. And above where the tendon attaches into the bone. Place this around the patients patellar region.
