Do I need a Jumpe's Knee Strap?

Question

I am an all-star, Senior, Level 3 cheerleader, and whenever I land a jump, my left knee hurts... Do I need a Jumper's knee strap?

Answer 1

If you have Osgood Schlatter Disease then yes.  All that is a bump below your knee which comes from your quad muscle in your leg.  The muscle comes around your knee and attaches to the bottom and chips away the bone causing as bump.  I have it and I would recommend a knee brace because the strap hurts my knee when I take it off.  Email me if you need more info.
