Mueller Textured ITB Strap

The Illiotibial Band stretches from the hip to the kneecap and into the tibia and attaches at the Gerdys Tubercle. It is a thick band of fibrous tissue protecting the muscles of the thigh and is particularly vulnerable to pain and inflammation in long distance runners. The pain can be associated with a clicking sensation and is often worse when running up or down hills or during heel strike. This simple Neoprene strap is applied just above the knee and creates a compression force on the ITB helping to relieve pain and aching on the outside of the knee. It is a one size fits all brace and is easy to apply.
