“Got this for pottering around the garden. What I like most is that it doesn't get in the way when I'm bending down or moving between the flower beds.”
EverydayPatella strap for knee pain relief
Walk Tuesday.
Daily, the patellar tendon takes up 17x your body weight. Our Support Strap takes the load off so stairs, runs and squats stop hurting.


Targeted pressure
The raised pad presses on the tendon, not the joint. Load spreads away from the sore point.
One-pull fit
Slide it on, pull through the buckle. No velcro wings, no hinges, no slipping.
Wear it anywhere
Under jeans, over tights, on either leg. One adjustable size, [30–45 cm].
The reason I built this strap
Hi, I'm Eric!
Hi, I’m Eric!
I was a medical student when I had to help my granddad move into a single-story home. His knee pain had made the stairs too difficult. Watching him leave the home he loved because of something as ordinary as climbing steps stayed with me.
I wanted to understand what was happening. As I looked deeper into his knee problem, I learned that his patellar tendon—the tendon just below the kneecap—was struggling with too much load.
I started looking for something that could support that area without making everyday movement uncomfortable. But I couldn’t find an option that felt right for him: simple, discreet, and secure enough to stay in place.
That’s what inspired me to create the Hypnaven Patella Support Strap. A focused strap designed to support the tendon below the kneecap, fit comfortably under clothes, and stay put throughout the day.
Hypnaven started with my granddad, and a wish that he wouldn’t have to keep changing his life around his knees.
Back on court.
“Physio told me to try a patellar strap. Sceptical at first but after a week at the gym I'm a total convert. Leg press, squats, lunges, the lot. No aching afterwards. Wish I'd found it years ago.”
GYM“My knee had me watching from the sideline for months. Fits right under my football socks and doesn't shift through a full 90 minutes. Back to training three times a week. Feels like me again.”
Football“Much thinner than my old brace. I play two matches a week with it and nobody even notices it.”
Padel“The descents were killing my knees. Wore it for a full day in the mountains and it stayed exactly where I put it.”
Hiking“I can squat to depth again at the gym. I put it on before my warm-up and take it off after.”
Squats“Jumper's knee for years. This is the first strap that doesn't slip after ten minutes on court.”
