Vive IT Band Strap - (2 Pack) Iliotibial Band Compression Wrap for Men, Women
Category: vive compression back wrap
The Vive Universal IT Band Strap provides a targeted compression solution for ITBS (Iliotibial Band Syndrome) and general knee pain. Stabilizing the iliotibial band, this strap reduces knee strain and the risk of re-injury. The compression wrap stabilizes the knee joint, diminishing rubbing and friction on the outer knee.
Crafted with breathable neoprene, the strap traps therapeutic heat to aid in healing sore, aching muscles by increasing blood flow. Versatile in design, it can also be worn below the knee to relieve pain from conditions like patellar tendonitis, Osgood Schlatter's, and runner's knee.
An integrated gel compression pad provides additional support for the IT band, dampening vibrations with every movement to stabilize and protect the knee. This makes the strap ideal for athletic activities like tennis, basketball, running, and hiking.
The textured interior grips the skin securely, keeping the strap in place during use. It is easily adjustable with a strong fastening system, accommodating leg circumferences from 14 to 20 inches when worn 2-3 inches above the knee.
Lightweight and low-profile, the breathable neoprene construction ensures exceptional comfort and moisture-wicking performance. Users can purchase with confidence, as the product is backed by Vive's 60-day unconditional guarantee.
Whether you're an active athlete or lead a more sedentary lifestyle, we all experience aches and pains at times. The Vive IT Band Strap provides essential compression support to the knee joint and leg, increasing blood flow to the affected area. This helps protect the joint from further injury while relieving discomfort.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is a common condition causing pain and discomfort on the outer knee. The thick iliotibial band runs from the hip to the outside of the knee, and when it becomes tight or inflamed, it can rub against the knee joint, leading to irritation.
Fortunately, specific exercises can help alleviate ITBS symptoms when used in conjunction with the Vive IT Band Strap. These include foam rolling the IT band, performing clamshell exercises, and doing side-lying leg lifts. Incorporating these movements into a workout routine can improve IT band flexibility and strengthen the supporting muscles, reducing the risk of injury.
Lifting weights can also benefit the iliotibial band by strengthening the glutes, hips, and thighs - muscles that attach to the IT band. This improved strength and stability helps support the band, further minimizing the risk of ITBS and other knee problems. Exercises like clamshells, side-lying leg lifts, and squats performed with the IT band strap can specifically target these muscle groups for optimal results.
