ProBand Sports Industries
An Innovative Approach toward Easing Pain

ProBand Sports Industries is revolutionizing the way athletes and sports enthusiasts heal from joint injuries and inflammation. Understanding the frustration and disappointment of being held back due to recurrent sprains and joint pains, it provides a personalized approach to help players regain mobility and continue playing the sports they love.

ProBand has an impressive origin story that centers around the innovative thinking of Dr. Donald Fareed, its founder. With his world-renowned expertise as a sports orthopedic surgeon, Fareed’s clinical advice was frequently sought out by professional players planning to go under the knife. However, it was a chance encounter with tennis superstar, Pete Sampras, who was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, which sparked his breakthrough discovery.

Instead of resorting to surgery, he developed a new method of healing. Dr. Fareed’s first prototype was made using, among other things, a plaster mold, a plastic sheet, and a heat gun. The approach proved remarkably effective in reducing pain and promoting healing. In fact, Sampras could avoid surgery altogether and returned to the court after two weeks of treatment, ultimately going on to win the Grand Slam tournament.

Fareed’s innovative approach to healing sports and repetitive stress injuries continued to grow as he worked with more patients in his clinic and athletes in need of treatment. Another noteworthy athlete was Mark Philippoussis, who was dealing with patellar tendinopathy. In response, Fareed created a groundbreaking device called the ProBand KneedIT to ease the pain.

Today, under the leadership of Fareed’s son, Justin Fareed—president of the company—ProBand offers a wide range of unique solutions that allow the body to heal itself through Anatomically Focused Dynamic Compression® technology. It not only helps athletes recover from injuries, but also helps them maintain their passion for sports by providing an alternative to surgery and long recovery times.

Its novel products include the ProBand BandIT, which uses a dual anatomic plate system to provide dynamic and intermittent compression to the affected arms. This state-of-the-art technology uses your body’s natural movements and actions to create a gentle pumping mechanism, to pump out inflammation. By targeting the source of the problem, it helps to decompress the forearm, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. The ProBand BandIT XM is a magnetic version of BandIT, which focuses on natural healing in the elbow by increasing blood and oxygen flow. A professional player at the Major League Pickleball event in Daytona, Florida, was suffering from lateral epicondylitis for three months, and was able to play without pain while wearing BandIT XM for over six hours, and no longer needed to wear an aid because it worked so effectively.

Another product, the KneedIT, leverages the hamstring tendons in the back of the knee to create dynamic and intermittent compression in the soft tissue underneath the patella, effectively reducing inflammation. KneedIT XM, a magnetic alternative, exerts gentle pressure along the medial and lateral soft tissues, providing targeted relief for knee pain. Both products decompress the joint and are widely used to treat ailments like patellar tendinopathy, chondromalacia, osteoarthritis, and meniscus injuries.

In addition, ProBand offers the Ankle BandIT, a unique device that uses the body’s natural movements to create a pumping action that helps pump out swelling and inflammation, decompress the ankle joint, and alleviate pain from chronic ankle sprains, arthritis, and synovitis. It features removable and adjustable pads that align on a 45-degree fitness, underneath the ankle bones, lining of the ankle joint.

ProBand also offers a one-of-a-kind Therapeutic Exercise Ball that can be used along with the BandIT and BandIT XM products to activates ProBand’s Anatomically Focused Dynamic Compression, which helps to decompress the area at its source, and increase blood circulation with each squeeze. This innovative ball enhances the dual-action pumping mechanism of ProBand’s products, reducing inflammation, while strengthening the forearm and wrist.

The mechanism of these products is based on Newton’s third law, which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the plates’ action of compressing against the affected area creates a reaction that helps reduce inflammation and promote healing

When other similar products serve as tourniquets and restrict blood flow, ProBand’s products increase blood flow while pumping out inflammation—which serves as its unique differentiator in the market.



These products are widely used by professional golfers, tennis and pickleball players, and are recommended by physiotherapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers, and orthopods to patients worldwide. ProBand actively reaches out to professionals to inform them about how its products work to treat various ailments.
