CROSSTRAP Achilles Strap | for Tendonitis Prevention in Running, Cycling, Hiking and Outdoor Fitness by MDUB Athletics

I was told I needed surgery for my bulging Achilles tendon. I'm I nurse and thought I'd try ANYTHING before having surgery. I've tried 3 kinds of stretchy pull on braces and a lace up boot that immobilized the area. All that was OK but nothing helped minimize the bulge above my heel except this product. I wore the strap for around 6 hours the first time.. It immediately helped the pain, but the surprising thing was when I took it off, I could see a noticeable reduction in the size of the bulge. I've been wearing the strap for three days (off and on to allow for max circulation) and continue to see slow improvement. I'm on my feet 8 to 12 hours a day, so I can't imagine how well it would work if I could rest! I liked it so much, I bought a spare. Still applying ice and elevating in the evening. A definite 5 stars in my book!!

Awesome for Achilles tendonitis! For six months I have tried compression sleeves, kit tape, wrapping the achilles, heel lifts, different running shoes with a higher heel drop, and everything else that is suppose to help with tendonitis. Nothing worked. This strap was amazing for me. Even though it slightly kind of looks like an ankle bracelet for someone on probation, it has taken the pain away and I am running races again. It stays in place when running or walking, but not so tight that you feel like you are losing circulation. I will be purchasing more.

WOW! What a difference this little strap makes! I have suffered from Achilles swelling and pain for 9 months. I know when I go to the doctor he is going to tell me surgery and while I'm under want to fix the bone I broke in my foot and let it heal on it's own. Frankly I don't want surgery until I can't walk on it. I have 3 dogs and not being able to walk them is not an option. I have tried compression wraps and socks. They just weren't working and my foot would start to swell up. This little strap I can wear all day, and not have any issues with my nagging achilles tendon pain. I actually want to start running again. But I think I will wait a few more days before I attempt it. Great product. It gives be just the right support without my foot swelling and I full range of motion.

Works amazingly well, if you let it! I'm a Dr. & an Achilles injury can require surgery if you don't rest it, use ice, elevateuse OFC anti-inflammatory meds & wear this until you are healed. BE PATIENT! Using this will NOT cure you; but for me it aided in me avoiding 8 weeks off work & a surgery! Pamper your Achilles injury, don't rely on this & think you're healed, you're not! This will reduce strain on your tendon, but if you don't rest it & allow this to reduce strain on it so your body can heal itself, I'll see you at the ER/office. This little device worked better for me than a brace & crutches, but listen to your body & ease back into activity slowly-the device will help reduce strain on your Achilles tendon while it strengthens. I'm sorry, but people complaining this didn't help, sound like they pushed too hard, too quick. Be patient, pamper your tendon & ease off using this-slowly, as tolerated and you won't be sorry. I bought 2 more just in case family/friends ever have a similar injury. I'm 6'1, 220# & small one fits great.

I have had a recurring problem with the achilles tendon on my left foot. Limited virtually everything I did when it flared up. Found this item when searching for some sort of relief short of surgery. I have to say that this tendon strap has brought a sea change in how the achilles feels. It's amazing that such a simple solution could bring such relief. I highly recommend this tendon strap. May not work the same way for everyone - depending on the nature of the achilles problem; but it certainly worked for me.

I'm glad I purchased the Crosstrap for my already Achille's tendonitis. I wear it all of the time even though it looks pretty funny in dresses it just makes me feel secure and helps the swelling on my tendonitis. I would recommend this.

I play a lot of sports that require running and suddenly my achilles tendon became very sore and tender. Started wearing this strap and doing a lot of stretching and it almost never bothers me any longer. It is starting to show wear and tear though so I'm getting another one.

I don't know if it is placebo or if it actually have help but it works. Really easy to put on and off.
