Abstract
A knee pain reduction strap device is described. The device is configured to be used by a user alone who is experiencing knee pain. A primary strap is configured to be placed beneath the arch of the foot while a secondary strap, disposed atop the primary strap, helps to provide additional friction, and ensure that the device remains in position. Handles disposed on ends of the primary strap facilitate manipulation of the device by the user while in a sitting position to perform stretches of the ankle, calf, shin, and knee of the user, helping to alleviate pain over time.
