Played two full sets of tennis without my Kinora strap slipping once. Six months ago I couldn't even finish a match. Now I'm back on the court three times a week and my knee doesn't even cross my mind.

My physical therapist told me to try a patellar strap. I was skeptical at first, but after a week at the gym with Kinora I'm a total convert. Leg press, squats, lunges—all of it with zero aching afterward. Wish I'd found it years ago.

My knee had me watching from the sidelines for months. The Kinora strap sits right above my soccer socks and doesn't shift through a full 90 minutes. Back to practicing three times a week. Feels like me again.

I'd given up on my yard and garden. Kneeling, bending, digging—it all hurt too much. Wore this Kinora strap and spent three hours out there the day it arrived. My daughter couldn't believe I was back at it.

Did a 9-mile coastal trail walk last weekend with a Kinora strap on each knee. Felt zero pain. I used to have to turn back at mile three. Now I just keep going. My whole walking group has ordered a pair.

Thought a brace would look bulky over gym leggings, but you barely notice the Kinora strap. More importantly, I'm back to leg press and lunges without that sharp sting on the way down. Worth every penny for what it does.

Animation showing a Kinora™ strap moving into position below the kneecap.
Focused pressure below the kneecap. Freedom to bend the rest of your knee.
Kinora™ pairs a shaped silicone pad with an adjustable wraparound strap. You set the tension, while the kneecap stays uncovered.
The patellar tendon connects the bottom of your kneecap to your shin. It works with the muscles in the front of your thigh to straighten your knee.
Where Kinora™ comes inThe pad sits over this area below the kneecap, applying focused pressure while leaving the joint uncovered.
A smaller wrap. More room to move.
The right support starts with what you need it to do. Compare where each design sits, how it fastens and how much of the knee it covers.
| Design | Full brace shown | Kinora™ |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Broad panels above, below and around the knee. | A compact pad just below the kneecap. |
| Fastening | Several wide straps. | One adjustable wraparound strap. |
| Build | Padded panels and side supports. | Shaped silicone pad, woven strap and metal loops. |
Kinora™ leaves the kneecap uncovered and lets you adjust the strap below it. Use the fitting steps below to check its placement and how comfortably you can bend before you start.

Place the shaped silicone pad on bare skin, just below your kneecap. Keep the kneecap itself clear.

Wrap the strap around your leg and adjust the fastening. Snug and comfortable is the goal; tighter is not always better.

Bend your knee to check the position. Loosen or readjust if needed; remove it if it causes discomfort.
Silicone against your skin. A fit you control.
From the first steps of your walk to your next set at the gym, start with a fit that feels snug and lets you bend comfortably.
The shaped silicone pad sits against bare skin, just below the kneecap.
Use the fastening and metal loops to fine-tune a snug, comfortable fit.
Each strap can be fitted to the left or right leg. Use a separate strap on each knee if wearing two.
A quick fit check: bend your knee before you start, and readjust the strap if it shifts.
More of your knee stays uncovered. Less fabric between your skin and the air.
Woven fabric and a compact pad leave more room around your knee — from a walk outside to time in the garden.
Wear it with shorts or under loose trousers. Keep the pad against bare skin and adjust the fit for comfort.

Start with the type of support you need.
Kinora™ applies focused pressure below the kneecap through a shaped silicone pad. Whether a patellar strap is appropriate for you depends on your knee problem and the support you need.
Unsure what is causing your pain? Ask your physiotherapist or clinician: “Would a patellar strap be appropriate for my knee, and how should I use it?” The strap itself cannot tell you why your knee hurts.
Adjust it to your leg, then check that you can bend comfortably.
Comfort comes first: loosen or remove it if you feel numbness, notice a change in skin colour, or experience discomfort.
See the three fitting stepsA snug fit below the kneecap, with room to bend.
Start by checking the position and gently bending your knee. You control the tension; pulling the strap as tight as possible is not the goal.
How it feels and whether it helps will vary from person to person. If you are following a treatment or rehabilitation plan, keep to your clinician’s advice. Readjust or remove the strap if it causes discomfort.
Just below your kneecap, with the silicone pad against bare skin.
Yes. Each strap fits the left or right leg.
There is no separate left-hand or right-hand version. Adjust each strap to the leg you are wearing it on, then check the position below your kneecap.
One for each knee: the Buy 1, get 1 FREE pack contains two individual straps. You can also keep the second as a spare.
Kinora™ places a compact pad below the kneecap and leaves the joint uncovered.
A knee sleeve covers a wider area around the joint. Kinora™ uses a shaped silicone pad and a narrow wraparound strap, with a fastening you adjust by hand.
The useful comparison is where the support sits and what you need it to do. A smaller design alone does not establish that it is the right support for your knee.
No. A patellar strap and a prescribed brace serve different roles.
Kinora™ is a compact strap that sits below the kneecap. It does not wrap the whole joint like a sleeve or have the structure of a hinged brace.
If you have an injury, a medical condition or a prescribed support, follow your clinician’s advice. Do not replace a prescribed brace with Kinora™ without discussing it with them.
Fit the silicone pad against bare skin first.
Place it just below the kneecap and adjust the fastening before putting loose clothing over it. This lets you see where the pad sits and check how the strap feels.
You can wear it under trousers with enough room to bend comfortably. If the fabric pulls tightly across the strap or restricts movement, choose a looser fit.
Stop and reset the fit before continuing.
Avoid solving movement by simply pulling the strap tighter. Loosen or remove it if it feels restrictive or uncomfortable.
Follow the plan agreed with your physiotherapist.
Kinora™ is an adjustable physical support. It does not replace an assessment, prescribed exercises or the support already recommended for you.
If you are following a rehabilitation plan, show your physiotherapist the strap and ask whether it has a role in your activities and how they recommend fitting it.

Pickleball was destroying my left knee with all the lateral lunging. Put the Kinora™ strap on before yesterday's 2-hour session and didn't feel a single sharp twinge. Woke up today with zero swelling. Ordered two more for my bag.
Guys I just walked up my basement steps without pulling myself up by the handrail. No popping, no grinding, no stopping on every step. Put the Kinora™ strap two fingers below my kneecap and the relief was instant. I'm 67 and honestly teared up.
Giving 4 stars only because I wish it came with a small mesh case so the velcro doesn't snag my gym clothes in my bag. The Kinora™ strap itself is a 5/5—stays locked in during heavy squats and completely killed my tendon pain.
I'm 73, bone-on-bone in my right knee, and waiting on replacement surgery. My bulky $1,500 orthopedic brace constantly slides down my leg. Wore the Kinora™ for 4 days and the inner knee grinding is 90% gone. It actually stays put.
Used to map my morning runs just to avoid steep downhills because my patellar tendon would scream. Six weeks with Kinora™ and I don't even think about my route anymore. The silicone pad grips right where it needs to without cutting off circulation.
Docking one star because it wasn't "instant day-one magic" for me like the ad implied. Almost returned it on day 5, but around day 11 the inflammation in my tendon finally calmed down and now I'm walking pain-free. Be patient!
