My knee pain – GONE”

-

After a gruelling 6 months training I was ready to take on the legendary road cycle ride from Lands End to John O’Groats (LEJOG). I’ve wanted to do it for years. But then just six weeks before the start disaster struck! I was out for a long ride but after a couple of hours my knee started to hurt, it was a very sharp pain. The further I went the more painful it got. Over the next few weeks the pain got worse. It was during a training ride with the lads that the pain got so bad and I said I’d have to drop out of LEJOG. They were all devastated. It was then that Ian took off his famous FLX Knee strap and told me to give it a go. He wears them on every ride, raving at how good they were for his knees. So I slipped it on for the rest of the ride. He was right, it really did work! To say I was surprised how good it was is an understate­ment, it worked immediatel­y and I cycled for miles without a single pain. Needless to say I bought my own FLX knee straps and went ahead with the ride. Ian and I took spare bands for the others in case they had knee problems and by day five we were all wearing them! It was a gruelling event, but it was all worthwhile and to do it without pain was blissful. Now I wouldn’t ride without these incredible straps!
