I bought the MetaGrip Thumb Brace at the recommendation of my Occupational Therapist, to provide support and reduce the pain of arthritis in my thumb joint.
Positives:
Lightweight, easy to use, somewhat discreet (i.e., not bulky or obnoxiously bright colors).
It immediately reduced the pain of my arthritic thumb. It didn’t completely resolve it, but I feel better when I wear it.
Negatives:
Durability. The straps are simple, but the Hook and Loop fasteners (usually referred to be the brand name Velcro©) have lost their effectiveness--their ability to stay attached is becoming increasingly compromised, rendering the brace ineffective. I have only owned it approximately 4 months, which is an unacceptable length of time for such a device. Your website even says “This highly durable thumb brace for women and men with arthritis creates a custom fit that is comfortable and designed to stabilize your joint,” which has not been my experience at all.

Value. At this price point ($114.99), and the durability statement on the website, I do not think this is a good value for my money. I would expect this to last at least two years, being worn every day and washed in cold water on the gentle cycle (as recommended on your website).

The service is whatever. In the age of Amazon and PayPal it’s suboptimal. But the brace really helps the specific problem of the SLAC wrist, and yet it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything. I can’t stand anything on my wrists including wristwatches, but I wear this all day and forget it’s on. It doesn’t eliminate the pain or disability but it does meaningfully improve it.

Great product, exactly what the doctor ordered. Seems to be helping and easy to even sleep with.

Referred by my PT. Quick process in getting brace. Comfortable and allows mobility of my hand.

The brace is well made and does what it's supposed to. Received the brace within 5 days of ordering.

I have been wearing a brace off and on for many years, this is by far the most supportive and comfortable one I have used

The brace is extremely supportive, and helps with my lumbar pain, especially with promoting pelvic stability and relieving some stress off L5. The metal bars can be easily customized to fit the curvature of my spine. The brace is well worth the price: it provides stability without severely restricting movement. I love it!

I have been wearing a Push Metagrip Brace on my right thumb since June and I am so pleased with how it has helped manage my pain! I finally ordered one for my left hand a few weeks ago and am so glad that I did! I have recommended them to multiple friends!

The brace arrived promptly and in good condition. Unfortunately, wearing it aggravated my thumb pain instead of giving me relief.

Great product. Really helps. Quick and friendly service.

This brace comes recommended from my orthopedic surgeon, and has been a godsend. I have used this for 4 years.
The details of ordering/delivering the brace were simple and direct.

I have purchased many braces for various injuries and I'd say this brace is comfortable and is quite solid for keeping it tight.

I cannot get the “bend” correctly on my own so it is not helping very much.

Great product and quick delivery

I ordered the Push Sports arm strap. I was suffering from chronic pain daily for 2 months. I was told it was “tennis elbow”. My elbow was swollen and the pain radiated down through my arm into my hand. I wore the strap for 4 days and all my symptoms disappeared!!!! I still maintain wearing the strap so my pain doesn’t reoccur. I’m very happy and thankful.

I have arthritis in both thumbs. I have tried 6 or 7 different types of braces. This one protects the joint without limiting me from doing what I want to do. I will never love having to wear braces but these are the best I have tried so far.

The patella brace significantly aids in pain management of my knee as I complete daily exercise routine. It provides much needed stability and I don’t think I could take a step without it!
