DonJoy

I have had two major injuries during my career—both ACL tears. There is a lot of pressure inside and outside of schools and organizations to recover quickly, which I appreciate, but it’s up to young athletes, parents and coaches to take steps to recover safely and guard against injury and re-injury. This will only allow for a stronger, better return to sport in the long run.

Hey wanted to give you feedback. I am a walking ad for DonJoy! I've been to 3 elite lacrosse tournaments and I wear the Trizone cuz I walk and stand all day. I've had a handful of people at each one ask about it! I've been wearing the reaction one too when I run. Everyone that asks me I point them to your site. Anything else I can do to get a better word out there. I really have had a lot of people ask. You know we only "hang" with the sporty over 40 and they all have knee probs!!! Glad I have DJ stuff cuz it really does help. I'm not sore at night like I usually am.

I have always wanted to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and decided this was the year. I spent multiple months training and preparing to summit the "Roof of Africa" when I tore my medial meniscus just weeks before realizing my dream. The MRI also showed I have grade 3 degeneration of the cartilage in my right knee, this was a result of surgery on my ACL&MCL 20 years ago. Needless to say, I was in shock about the diagnosis. I spoke with my orthopedist and he recommended I speak with a DonJoy representative about the situation. The OA Nano knee brace was recommended to help with my osteoarthritis and meniscus, so I gave it a shot. I was surprised how light and durable the OA Nano with the magnesium frame was, but more importantly the stability it provided my knee. This gave me a renewed confidence, so I boarded the plane for Tanzania. My tour group and operators were incredibly supportive and the OA Nano was with me every step of the way – literally – on my grueling 6-day trek to the summit and back. In the end, the journey was even better than I could have ever dreamed of.
