“Finally, no more knee pain”

Over the last two years I'd tried everything to stop the pain in my knee...

Stephen, Perth, W.A: "Over the last two years I’d tried everything to stop the pain in my knees... painkillers, acupuncture, and physiotherapy treatments. Sometimes physio would give me a bit of relief but within hours the pain would be as bad as ever. It was so depressing, I couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. I’m normally very positive but I couldn’t stop thinking that this is what my life was going to be like.

I didn’t want to leave the house

I’ve always been very active and love socialising. But the pain was so bad all I wanted to do was stay indoors. I felt bad for my wife Sue, as it was im pact ing on her life as well.

Apart from her, I’d only confided in my best friend Dave, he knew what I was going through because he had bad knees for years. One evening he popped over for a drink. He had a spring in his step when he would normally be shuffling along, but not today!

How on earth could a small knee strap help

"It's like I have new knees"

He told me he’d been like this for six weeks. “My knees have been better since I’ve started wearing my new FLX knee straps, it’s like I have new knees.” He went on, “I told you all about them last month.” I must admit I did remember him mentioning it but I thought how on earth could a small knee strap help. But seeing Dave being so light on his feet I was all ears now!

He rolled up his trousers and showed me the knee strap. He said it was remarkable, taking the pressure off his knee joints. I knew there had to be something in it. I asked how I could order them, he reached into his bag – he’d bought me a present, two FLX Knee straps!

I put them on and after a little adjustment they were in place. I wore them all day and the next. I was amazed, getting up and down stairs was not such a struggle. I thought this feels good.

No pain, and more flexibility

After a week of wearing them Sue and I went out for a long walk to burn off the pounds gained over the holiday. After 15 minutes Sue suggested we walk back, she was worried I’d already over done it. But I insisted we go on a bit further, I wanted to put these knee straps to the test. We walked for a good 45 minutes at a normal pace. Sue couldn’t believe it. I thought maybe I was going to have to pay the price the next day, but they didn’t hurt at all. The strap takes the pressure off the knee joint, so no pain, and more flexibility.

It’s like having new knees. I suggested to Sue that we go to Rome in the spring for her birthday, she’s always wanted to go. But with my bad knees we’d always put it off. Thanks to Dave’s incredible present I’ve got my life back, Rome here we come!”

"My knee pain has disappeared"

“When the kids were younger I was a full-time mum, being home I would snack more so the weight piled on. That’s when I started to suffer with knee pain. It was only more recently I discovered that I had osteoarthritis in both knees.

I couldn’t walk far, never mind do any exercise. Feeling fed up, my husband Howard bought me the knee strap to help with the pain. I could wear it under trousers so I gave it a go – I couldn’t believe how a small strap could make such a difference.

I started to walk more in stead of driving and lost almost a stone. I am truly over the moon, no more knee pain and I feel like a new woman." Sandra, Canterbury.

“Knee pain...GONE!”

"I wouldn't ride without these incredible straps!"

NATHAN JONES had been struggling with knee pain since retirement and it had been getting steadily worse. He resigned himself to a much less mobile life until his son made him try some thing he would never normally bother with.

“I ordered a Bio-Mag bracelet just to keep my son happy, he’s big into things like that! Well what a surprise I got. I put it on as soon as it arrived and to be honest forgot I was wearing it and went to bed as normal. The next morning I didn’t feel the stiffness in my knees that I was so used to. I left it on, still telling myself that it couldn’t possibly work. But a few days later, I walked up stairs, and realised that I had no pains in my knees and that was the first time in months.

The cynical side in me still said it was a placebo, so I took it off for a few days, to test it out! I couldn’t believe it – the pain returned! Needless to say, I never take it off now. I thanked my son and even told my mates down the local pub about it, some of them laugh and tell me I’m mad. Who knows, it may be a placebo, but all I know is that it works for me. It made me feel like my old self again.

It’s so good to wake up in the mornings pain-free and know that I won’t have to struggle to get down the stairs. I’ve started to get out and about more and I’ve even cleaned up my old bicycle and started going out on bike rides along the coast. It feels so good to live a normal life again. I’ve been wearing it for five months now and feel better than ever, no more aching joint and I feel like I've got more energy."
