DJO’s Impact on Football

DonJoy has provided relief and stability for me for over a decade now, and I can honestly say it is the best product on the market and the quality is superior. My DonJoy knee brace and I were inseparable after five knee surgeries to repair ACL and meniscus tears during my high school years.

— K.K. (Ketch) Willis

Do love this brace. I have worn TriZone for 3 races and won my age group in each race. My knee is fine, no problems, it’s the best brace I’ve ever had.

— Robert Heins

I began my journey with DJO Global with the Defiance brace. The Defiance brace brought me strength, confidence and support. I was wearing the Defiance brace to help me recover from ACL and meniscus repair surgery. With the Defiance brace I felt I could run father, harder and with more confidence.

— Jennifer Foley

I've had my DonJoy for about 10 years due to some medial meniscus issues. It has always brought immediate relief as soon as I put it on but I learned just how strong it was this week when I fell off a scooter while wearing my brace in Panama. I was wearing my brace as I always do on long-walking days (thankfully) and as I crashed into my left leg, the one with the DonJoy, the brace almost completely protected my entire leg of injury. I have one scratch on the part of my knee that wasn't covered but that's it!

— Alissa Heim

Competitive equestrian here. This past winter I spun my ankle while competing in my other passion (ski racing) and managed to do a high sprain and ATF sprain on the same ankle, as well as tendon damage. My therapist, Justin Lewis RMT, recommended a DonJoy brace to help me through recovery and I'm impressed.

— Katie

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.

— James Bullion

I tore my ACL last year during an 8th grade basketball game for my club team, The Panthers. A year later, I got my DonJoy knee brace and made both the JV and Varsity team at my high school as a freshman! My brace gives me the confidence and support I need to play my best game. I named my brace "Joy" and just like my rep told me, I can't imagine playing without her. I'm playing soccer in the Spring and know my brace will give me the extra confidence I need to make the varsity team! Thank you for making a brace that is both functional and comfortable.

— Brooke Wohlers

Hi! My name is Emily, and I want to share with you my Donjoy story!

I have a pretty unique story, and my Donjoy ACL braces play a vital role. Unlike sports such as soccer, basketball, volleyball, or skiing; my sport isn't one where your brand is yet represented by an athlete or even recognized. But nonetheless, I trust Donjoy's ACL braces to allow me to confidently continue in my favorite extreme sport in the whole world. Skydiving.

— Emily Brooks

My DonJoy Female Force has been there with me while going through the hardest thing in my life. I tore my ACL and meniscus almost a year and a half ago while pitching. The rehab was tough. Being away from my teammates was tougher. Being away from fastpitch, the game I love, for almost 9 months was the toughest. I used my DonJoy through the rehab, on my first game back, and still to this day. I am so thankful for the peace of mind and confidence my DonJoy brace gives me to go out and be the best I can for me, my teammates, my coaches, and my family. Thank you DonJoy!
