ProBand® Sports Industries - FAQ

FAQ

- Is ProBand made with Latex? Latex is not used in the manufacturing of any ProBand product.

Can I wear my ProBand on either the right or left arm/leg? ProBand molds to the contours of your body as you wear it, giving you a custom fit. If you plan to wear our products on both sides of your body, we suggest that you get one ProBand for each side. Don’t forget to mark one of them “right or left” so you always re-apply to the same appendage.

Should I get a ProBand with Magna-Therapy® When placed near the affected area, magnets may stimulate blood flow with the resultant increase of oxygen-caring capacity of the blood, both of which are basic and essential to helping the body heal itself. Please see the discussion under the BandIT XM or KneedIT XM product description for complete information on ProBand with Magnet-Therapy®.

How do I put my ProBand on? See the how to video for more information, you can visit “How to Use ProBand”. Additional information on your ProBand below

BandIT and BandIT XM: You must adjust the strap so that both the front and back plates are equal distance from each other on each side. The strap should be loosened the first time you use it. Note that the strap goes over the backplate.Loosen by slipping your finger under the center of the strap on the backplate. If the strap touches you, the product is not mounted correctly. 

KneedIT and KneedIT XM: The front plate fits directly under your kneecap with the center of the V-notch touching the kneecap.The back pad can slide so that both the front plate and back pad are equal distance apart on each side. If the strap touches you, the product is not mounted correctly.
