Knee pain keeps a schedule.
You already plan your day around it. Bendio is made to stop that.
- 7:00The first stairs. Sideways, gripping the rail.
- 10:30Weeding is fine. Getting back up is not.
- 2:00Out of the car in two tries.
- 6:00You cut the dog walk short. Again.
- 8:30The stairs again. Somehow steeper.
Most supports go around your knee. Bendio goes under it.
Just under your kneecap is the spot that takes the strain every time you climb, stand up or kneel. We call it the underline. The cushioned pad presses right there, and your knee feels the difference.
Too small to work? Researchers checked.

Your thigh pulls a little less, so that spot hurts less.
What the studies found
less pain on a tough squat test, compared with wearing nothing
How they tested it
In a randomized trial, 97 athletes with jumper's knee tried a patellar strap, sports tape, placebo tape and nothing at all. With the strap, pain on a single-leg squat dropped by 14 points on a 100-point scale compared with nothing. It did not beat the placebo tape.
pain score when landing a hop, out of 100
How they tested it
30 people with jumper's knee and 30 without it hopped and landed on one leg, with and without a strap. With the strap, pain scores in the jumper's knee group fell from about 37 to 28 out of 100, and both groups landed with less peak force.
knees showed less tendon strain in the computer model
How they tested it
Researchers X-rayed 20 men aged 24 to 62 with and without two different straps. A computer model then predicted less strain at the jumper's knee spot in 16 of the 20 men with one strap and 15 of 20 with the other.
