Reddit reviews Rehband 7mm Knee Sleeve - Model 7051 Original Blue

Rehbands definitely helped with my knees.

If I squat without them, I'm in pain. If I squat with them, I feel absolutely confident in my knees. So I don't know if you have them, but it's worth a look. Also that link sells them as a single sleeve, not a pair, and you'll want to size down.

For the knee, do you use knee sleeves or some other kind of support? That could help, I know a lot of people use them for squats and stuff.

For compression tights, I think Under Armour has some nice ones. I don't wear the long pants but I love their shorts.

Well, I guess I believe that my experience and my education gives me the right to call a doctor lazy or misinformed. I think any doctor that doesn't give you treatment options is lazy. Many doctors have specialties and most of them are not kinesiology, but any doctor should be able to do some research and get back to you with treatment options. I'm been a competitive athlete in many sports my entire life, I've had my share injuries and pains. To go along with this I've had many doctors, some who are very forward thinking about physiology, kinesiology and body wellness and others who subscribe to the "take some advil and stop doing xxxxx" method. Some doctors will be very proactive about educating themselves with the latest research and journals and others will get their degree and just prescribe pills for their whole career.

So, ITBS is caused by many things, but you were not born with it, it is something people develop through their movement patterns.

There are many things that can lead to ITBS, running on sloped surfaces, high or low foot arches (can be corrected with insoles), not sufficient warmup or cool down, and a variety of muscle imbalances.

If your health insurance won't cover a PT you could educate yourself. A really good reference book would by "Becoming A Supple Leopard" by Kelly Starrett PhD. He is a doctor of physical therapy who is the owner of MobiltyWOD.com as well as a world renowned movement and mobility expert. His book is the best resource for the mechanisms of human movement that I have ever seen, and if you read the reviews of the book, many Doctors of Physical Therapy say the same thing.

Additionally, I use these knee sleeves (Rehband, 7mm Knee Sleeve), they are kind of pricey, but they work miracles for abused knees (mine are heavily abused). Pretty much every competitive lifter uses either these or heavy wraps.

I hope this little bit of info helps and I'd be more than happy to elaborate on anything I've said.

It looks like the dudes in WSM wear Rehbands on their elbows (from watching it at least), but it could just be a similar design. I got a pair 4 months ago to squat with and I love them. Never used them on my arms though.

Maybe you can ask Mr. Shahlaei about it in his upcoming AMA.

These are amazing for knee support

From you this means a lot.

Also get some Rehband knee sleeves for those fucking clicking knees, dude. They work miracles.

Best quality. Will last a long time.

This is the best knee sleeve ever made. They are really expensive but I assure you that there is no better sleeve.

A couple of people at my gym got knee sleeves to help with it. Specifically the Rehband brand ones. They said that it definitely helped to keep the knees warm and reduced the pain during lifts.

Keep in mind that they all also did rehad exercises that a PT at our gym had them do to help. Don't know the exact exercises they went through unfortunately.

I really only use them for heavy squats and cleans. They do provide a nice amount of support.

For other things I use http://store.hookgrip.com/shop/black-red-hookgrip-knee-sleeves/ just to keep the knees warm. They don't provide support but they are $14 for a pair vs $45 each for the Rehband sleeves.

General rule when shopping at Big 5:

Is it shoes? ----> Yes-----> Buy them if they are on sale

|

V

No -----> Don't buy it, it's shit.

These are supposed to be the standard

this could be just general wear-and-tear on your knees from participating in sports, weight lifting, etc.

i used to play a lot of basketball (running on hardwood, of course) and would experience some random, acute pains and aches and creaks and pops when doing leg exercises. something that was supremely beneficial to me both instantaneously and even in the present day is investing in knee sleeves. specifically, i bought a pair of rehbands

other than that, it is explicitly against the rules to offer medical advice. but i hope you take my suggestions to mind. if all else fails, see a/your doctor.
