And if you've ever ordered a knee strap that barely made it around your leg, you already know how frustrating it is when \"one size fits most\" doesn't fit you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe you've tried tightening a strap as far as it would go, only to have it dig in, roll down or pop open halfway through your walk. Maybe you've given up and just pushed through the pain. Either way, you deserve support that was built with your body in mind from the very start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Plus Size Patella Knee Strap comes in sizes L to 3XL and fits knees that measure 15 to 25 inches around, directly under the kneecap. It gives you focused, adjustable support right where the pain starts, so you can keep walking, working and doing the things you love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the same \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.braceability.com\/products\/patellar-tendon-knee-strap\"\u003epatellar tendon strap\u003c\/a\u003e our customers already count on, now offered in a lineup made just for plus size knees.

Every step, squat and stair puts load on that tendon. When it's irritated, everyday movements like getting out of a chair or walking across a parking lot start to hurt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis strap has a rubberized, tubular compression pad that sits directly below your kneecap. When you tighten the strap, the pad presses gently on the tendon to help take pressure off the knee. That targeted support is what makes a knee strap different from a sleeve: it works on one specific spot instead of squeezing your whole leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what that looks like in your day:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess strain on the tendon with every step, stair and squat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoothing warmth and compression from premium-grade soft loop neoprene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupport you can feel without a bulky brace covering your entire knee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRunner's Knee, Jumper's Knee and Patellar Tendonitis: Who This Knee Strap Helps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plus size knee band is designed to support the patellar tendon for a range of common front-of-knee conditions, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.braceability.com\/blogs\/info\/runners-knee\"\u003eRunner's knee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.braceability.com\/blogs\/info\/jumpers-knee\"\u003eJumper's knee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatellar tendonitis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatellofemoral pain syndrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChondromalacia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTibial tuberosity pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.braceability.com\/blogs\/articles\/osgood-schlatter-disease-in-adults\"\u003eOsgood-Schlatter symptoms in adults\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether your pain shows up while walking, standing, running or jumping, a patellar tendon strap can help ease the pressure.

A lot of knee straps are made with average-size legs in mind. If yours are a little bigger, that usually means a strap that pinches, rolls or won't close at all. This one comes in four sizes, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL, so you can pick the size that matches your knee instead of hoping a universal strap stretches far enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinding your size takes about a minute:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrab a soft, flexible tape measure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrap it around your leg directly under your kneecap, right where the strap will sit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote the measurement in inches and match it to the size chart on this page.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you fall between two sizes, choose the smaller size for a more secure fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strap fits best against bare skin, where the non-slip interior can grip.
