The Lock-Point Pad is a silicone pressure point that seats just below your kneecap, right on the patellar tendon. Instead of squeezing the whole joint like a bulky sleeve, it redistributes load away from the irritated tendon during running, squatting, and climbing — the same principle used in clinical patellar straps.

Patellar tendonitis flares up when repeated load concentrates stress on a single point below the kneecap.

Kinovest's Lock-Point Pad applies targeted counter-pressure to that exact spot, redistributing strain away from the inflamed tendon.

An independent biomechanics lab test, the Kinovest Tendon Load Study (2024), measured a 31% reduction in patellar tendon strain during downhill running while wearing the strap.

In a survey of 33,350 customers, 98% reported immediate pain relief and 95% felt more stable on uneven terrain.

Our team engineers the silicone Lock-Point Pad with an internal ridge shaped to cradle the patellar tendon so it can't slip or rotate mid-run.

It's paired with an adjustable woven strap and metal ratchet buckle, letting you dial in exact tension for a fit that stays locked through every rep.

All day. The breathable neoprene-silicone composite is designed for long runs, hikes, and gym sessions without trapping heat or irritating skin.

Absolutely! The strap is built for daily wear, not a one-time brace, backed by a 1-year warranty against pad and buckle defects.

It's made with high-quality, breathable materials that are safe for everyday training. Wear it with confidence through runs, lifts, and hikes alike.

However, should you experience any irritation, consult a medical professional before continuing to use the product.

Not at all. Kinovest was built to isolate pressure on the tendon, not squeeze your whole knee. It sits low-profile under shorts or tights — supportive, not bulky.

Takes under 15 seconds. Wrap the strap behind your knee, seat the Lock-Point Pad just under the kneecap, and cinch the buckle until snug. Wear it over pants or against bare skin — whatever fits your workout.

Yes, it's one-size and fully adjustable, rated to fit knee circumferences from roughly 12 to 20 inches. We still recommend trying it on your first session to find your ideal tension.

We've got you. If you're not feeling less pain, more stability, or getting back to your normal mileage, you're covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee — no questions asked.
