Repeated impact
Running
~1,500 strikes a mile pound the tendon. The strap dampens each landing so mileage doesn't add up as strain.
Patellar tendon support
Built for every stride, cut & climb
One strap. Less strain on the tendon that takes the hit — every run, every jump, every downhill mile.
01 / The problem
Every step is a small collision.
The patellar tendon is the cable that lets you push off, land, and change direction. Repeated impact loads it thousands of times a session — and that's where overuse injury starts. It's not the crash that gets you. It's the accumulation.

02 / How it works
Move the load off the tendon
The strap sits just below the kneecap and applies focal pressure across the tendon — redistributing force into the band instead of the tissue. Drag to compare.
With KineticStrap
LOAD −58%
Without support
LOAD 100%
The strap absorbs and redistributes the load — the tendon stays protected.

03 / For your sport
Every sport loads the knee differently
Same tendon, different stress pattern. One strap, tuned to hold through all of them.
Lateral cutting
Pickleball
Quick side-to-side lunges torque the joint. Focal compression keeps the tendon tracked through sharp direction changes.
Jump & land
Basketball
Explosive take-offs and hard landings spike tendon load. The band absorbs the peak so you can keep going up.
Downhill load
Hiking
Descents load the tendon eccentrically for hours. Steady compression cuts the ache on the way back down.

Interior
Silicone dot grid grips skin so the pad stays put through sweat and motion.
Focal pad
Contoured EVA core concentrates pressure exactly over the tendon.
Band
Breathable knit with hook-and-loop closure. Adjusts 12–20 in, no pinch.
05 / Why it works
Simple mechanics. Honest engineering.
No sensors, no promises we can't keep. A compression band plus a focal pad — engineered to change how force travels through your knee. That's the whole idea, and it's enough.
01
Compression band
Even circumferential pressure supports the tendon and dampens vibration on every impact.
02
Focal pad
A raised core targets the patellar tendon directly — redistributing load off the tissue and into the strap.
03
Engineered to stay put
Silicone-gripped interior and a secure closure keep the pad on target — mile after mile, rep after rep.

Ran a downhill half with zero of the usual knee ache at mile 10. It just quietly does its job.

Pickleball three times a week and my patellar tendinitis flare-ups basically stopped. Doesn't slide.

I coach and rebound all practice. Landing feels way less jarring on my knee. Wish I'd had this years ago.

3-day hut trek, all descents. My knees usually scream — this trip they didn't. Packed it every day.
