Is there instructions that come with it on how to wrap the knee? I'm afraid I won't know how to do it once I get them.

Basically, you want to start with a full strap width above the knee, bring the long end back to your starting point, thereby anchoring the strap. Then wrap tightly from top to bottom, overlaping the strap you just wrapped by 1/2 the width of the wrap. When you have wrapped all the way below the knee with a full strap width, make 1 or 2 cross wraps where you wrap from the bottom of the knee diagonally up and around, completing with a lateral wrap around the top of the knee, then take the left over end under the last wrap and pull tight. You will want to remove the strap immedeatly after your lift.

No, there are not any instructions with the product. But check out videos on youtube... like many of us did when we had to learn to tie a tie.

No instructions... it's just a long flexible strap that you have to wrap around your knee until it's comfortable and tuck in the rest...

I've had mine about a year now, I just simply pull the velcro straps tighter, the upper and the one close to the knee, is most important. Not to tight

Yes you can, but I would only buy this if you are wearing some other knee brace on top of it, since this one will roll/slide down your thigh within a few minutes. I got this as a replacement for a bulkier knee brace but end up using it under the of one since that one keeps this up, but this one feels more form fitting.

Our shipment came with instructions. It involves folding it in a special way and then twisting two parts together. I do not have the instructions with me as I am travelling to Europe, but once you get the hang of it it works well. If you didn't find instructions, I would suggest you request them from the manufacturer. Otherwise, we have found this a great product. RAM

I did not! I read a bunch of customer reviews---you will find them easily. there are accurate measurements there. I have been buying such braces for years--and know that the smallest one might work. i do not know why there is not a "small" size here available?! the medium is perfect for me--somewhat thin leg but prone to swelling almost double in size in the knee area. i have it on right now--and I am watching TV lying down! i never usually wear a knee brace in this situation--but i am pain free with it on....it is a godsend for me.

No you can not wrap it around your knee. It goes approx 3/4 the way around my knee not all the way, i am average size. excellent ice pack very highly recommend.

Where the release button is...make sure you pull it up. It's kind of difficult and I actually had to look on youtube to watch a commercial of someone folding it back up. No there were no instructions like you said...very frustrating!

I do not recall that it came with instructions. I had purchased it due to using something similar with my Pilates teacher.

Thanks, I notice the wrap he's using is about twice as long as this product. Many of the wrapping techniques he uses won't work with this one (Cap Knee Wrap), due to the shorter length, but it was still helpful.

I bought this for my mom, so I actually have not used it myself. It doesn't seem like it would work for the knee due to the design. The company has other products, maybe there is one designed for the knee. Jaime Thomas

Joyce, This is about the best knee wrap we have ever used. It entirely wraps around the knee and hugs well to the leg. The gel is comfortable and feels great. Wehave only used it for cold applications. Enjoy!

Yea it should have come with instructions? If you did not get any that company just google it and you should get your answere, hope this helps.

Yes José you wrap your knees then when you have finished your set take them off. The idea behind wrapping your knees is for support and if wrapped properly ( tightly ) you will have to remove them because it will cut off uour circulation.

The only instructions I have were the ones that came with it - you may want to try emailing the store online and I am sure they will send you something. It took me a bit to figure out the instructions - but once you do it is pretty simple and it works great for me.

Thanks for visiting our store! The kneecap opening measures about 3" un-stretched and about 4" when fully stretched (but still able to securely close the wrap over the knee). This wrap has a dual function and can be used to either warm or chill the knee area as needed.Yes item should chill the area around the opening

You do NOT have to buy one for each knee... unless you want both knees to be undergoing treatment at the same time. The electric lead wires are color coded, and the AcuKnee will arrive at your home PRE-SET for use on your RIGHT knee. There are specific instructions in how to swap the red/black lead wires so that the AcuKnee can be used on your LEFT knee. There is text regarding the correct setup for the RIGHT KNEE printed on the inside of the AcuKnee, so even if you don't have your manual, you can still get it correct. Just reverse the plugs when you use it on your LEFT knee... then swap it back to "normal" setting (for the RIGHT knee) before packing it away. That way it will always come out of the box, ready for use on the RIGHT knee. That's the way I keep it straight. So... just buy ONE, then plan on sitting in front of the TV and watching your favorite shows while your AcuKnee handles one leg and then swap out the leads and treat the other leg.

I found ways to make it comfy and have it work. First, get a thick sock and cut the great toe out. Wear the sock under the brace, always! Second, when you first start to wear the brace, just loop the velcro loosely. Don't tighten it at all. The width of the toe protector will work first and without pain. Only start to tighten it after about a week or even two, and then, just tighten it a bit. This is a slow process if you don't want the process to be searingly painful. It takes time. I started to notice a difference after about two months. If you go too fast, you can hurt your gate or your knee, so be careful and just go very slowly.
