Cho-Pat® Achilles Tendon Strap™

It’s too small When she runs up and down the court the Valco comes off it does not state tightly fit. .

The verdict is out. Some days it seems to have helped. Other days not so much.

I've had two heel surgeries on my Achilles tendonitis as my tendon sheaths unexpectedly crystalized--for a reason no doctor has been able to satisfactorily explain. After decades of painful doctors' visits, physical therapy, and uninspiring medical assistance, I happened upon your Achilles Tendon Strap. Although it caused the parting of ways with at least one podiatrist--he really wanted to try his hand at surgery--it has offered me what no doctor has during the past three decades; a daily existence with relatively low-pain. My current doctors--particularly those at the Pain Clinic--have helped me in this area as well, however, I credit Cho-pat with making me able to walk and carry on a relatively normal day-to-day existence. I teach and direct theatrical productions at the college level. Without your product, I know I would be confined to a much more sedentary lifestyle; one that would not allow me to continue to pursue my love of theatre or my fairly active calendar. Thank you Cho-Pat!"

Just wanted to say how happy I am with your product. I originally ordered a small Achilles tendon strap, but after trying it on, realized it was too small. I ordered another one (a medium) and expedited the shipping because I was running 22 miles on Saturday (returning the small on Tuesday). I have to tell you I had absolutely NO PAIN WHATSOEVER (except for the occasional uncomfortableness of the Achilles). I’ve been training for a marathon for almost six months. My Achilles tendonitis has gradually gotten worse as miles and training were increased. I’ve tried everything except laying off the running—glucosamine, stretching, heat/ice—and nothing worked. Two weeks ago, I ran 20 miles and was in pretty serious pain from mile 10 on. I was worried that the injury would worsen with the longer runs and that I would be unable to run the marathon on February 16th. But not any more. Your product worked wonders. I had absolutely no pain in the Achilles. I used Sportscreme before the run, iced the Achilles after, but during, the Cho-Pat kept the Achilles pain free. Of course, when I finished 22, every other muscle ached (some still do today), but the Achilles felt great. I will recommend your product to others, anyone that will listen. In fact, I’m sending your Web-site address to a friend with an ankle problem who dropped out at 18 miles. He’s my marathon partner, and I was worried he may not make it to the big day. But now I feel confident he’ll be running in a Cho-Pat.

Several months ago, as I was training for the Austin Motorola Marathon, I developed a nasty case of Achilles tendonitis. I read about your Achilles tendon strap on a Runner's World bulletin board and, desperate to try anything, I ordered one. This morning, I completed the marathon and my Achilles is doing pretty darn good. I credit your product - I fimly believe that if it were not for your Achilles tendon strap, I would have been a spectator today. Thank you very much!
