Their Words, Their Knees
Your knee isn’t failing. The load has nowhere to go.
Walk up a flight of stairs and your body puts roughly three to four times your bodyweight through the knee. Going down, more. It doesn’t spread across the joint — it funnels into the tendon below your kneecap, an area about the size of a coin.
That tendon takes it all day. Stairs, chairs, the car, the dog, the last two miles. By the evening it’s doing the only thing it can do to get your attention.
So the honest version is this: nothing is broken. One small piece of tissue is doing a job it was never asked to do alone.
Kinetiq takes the point, so the tendon doesn’t.
It wraps on in ten seconds. From then on, a firm silicone pad sits directly below the kneecap and presses on the tendon, which changes the angle the force travels through and moves the pull away from the sore spot.
No pills, no rub, no appointment, nothing to remember. You put it on with your socks and take it off at night.
And because it’s a band and not a cast, your knee bends exactly the way it did yesterday. Nothing about how you move has to change.
Why not just a sleeve or a brace?
Most people land here after a sleeve that slid down and a brace that stayed in the drawer. None of the three are bad products — they’re built for different jobs, and only one of them is aimed at the tendon.

FAQ's
How is this different from a knee brace?
How is this different from a knee brace?
A brace wraps the whole joint and limits how it moves. Kinetiq presses on one specific point — the patellar tendon — and changes where the force goes. One restricts movement; the other redirects load. Different jobs entirely.
I’ve tried sleeves before and they did nothing. Why would this?
I’ve tried sleeves before and they did nothing. Why would this?
Because a sleeve compresses everywhere, which means it concentrates nothing. If your pain is the sharp, specific kind just below the kneecap, a sleeve was never aimed at it. That’s not your knee being beyond help — it’s the wrong tool.
It looks small. Does it actually do anything?
It looks small. Does it actually do anything?
It’s small because it only needs to cover one spot. The whole design logic is that the pressure is narrow and firm rather than wide and soft.
Will it fit my knee?
Will it fit my knee?
Adjustable from 11 to 20 inches, which covers slim, athletic and larger legs. No size chart, no measuring.
Will it slide down when I run?
Will it slide down when I run?
The inner pad is silicone and grips on skin rather than fabric. It’s the single thing we tested hardest, because it’s the reason most straps end up in a drawer.
Can I wear it all day?
Can I wear it all day?
Yes. Open-weave band, no neoprene, no sweat pooling. Under work trousers for a ten-hour shift is a normal use case.
One or two?
One or two?
Most people start with one and order the second within a month. That’s why the pair is discounted — it’s not an upsell, it’s what actually happens.
How do I know I’m wearing it right?
How do I know I’m wearing it right?
Every unit ships with a Placement Card. Find the bottom of your kneecap, sit the pad two fingers below it, tighten until snug. If you’re unsure, message us and we’ll walk you through it.
Can I wear it for sports?
Can I wear it for sports?
Yes — running, tennis, football, hiking, gym. It fits under football socks and gym leggings without bunching.
Should I use this instead of seeing a physio?
Should I use this instead of seeing a physio?
No. If your knee is swollen, unstable, locks, or hurts when you’re sitting still, get it looked at. Kinetiq is for the ache that shows up when you load the joint, and it works best alongside the strengthening work a physio gives you.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
What if it doesn’t work for me?
Return it within 60 days for a full refund, product in good condition. We’d rather refund you than have it sit in a drawer.
