I coach cross country and track. Many of my athletes use pre-wrap around the knee to relieve knee pain associated with tendinitis and jumper's knee. It affects more female athletes than male athletes. Using the school-issued pre-wrap (FREE) is much more economical than purchasing a knee band that retails for close to $30. Both devices offer the same treatment.
I have personally used pre-wrap around my knee when I ache. Under no circumstance would I suggest she remove this device. I know the purpose and intent, and also know how damaging and painful it could be when not used. You are keeping the athlete safe by permitting her to use this device.
