    Thanks for that!! I've never seen pre-wrap used like that. I have all kinds of great PT ideas now. Mmwahahahahah. Always looking for new ways to torture.

    That is amazing! As a crappy-knee sufferer I am always into what works for people. I see what she did but I don't exactly get how it works. Did it stop something from moving for you? Did she explain? I'm super curious.

    I am not a physical therapist, not by any stretch of the imagination, but this is what I *seem* to remember - I got so much information that day with the bike fit and everything that some of it is cloudy.


    Wahine - help me out if I get this wrong!!

    When the leg moves during the pedal stroke the patellar tendon should stay in place and that is what the strap does - it keeps the tendon from moving around. I think

    I am re-reading this and laughing - I need some expert explanation here cuz I am not at all official enough about this?!?

    Sheesh, I don't know - IT JUST WORKS!

    Fly--the lower part of the strap has always been very comfortable, but the upper strap--the part that goes above the knee--does sometimes chafe. That's why I'm thinking of switching.

    Fly, Juju: I've tried all sorts of PF straps and the most comfortable, supportive one I've found is the Futuro strap from the drugstore.
