Many of us have aches and pains, but sometimes, they do more than cause a groan when we stand after sitting for too long -- often, painful joints can keep us from being active, which leads to weaker muscles and doesn't exactly contribute to optimum health. So, aside from asking someone near and dear to you to constantly massage the affected area, you need to get the right kind of support, and this week, we might be able to help you out.

You could win either a Back Support or a Zeuba Vital Knee Support, both from Gaiam. Both not only offer support, but also provide circulation-stimulating compression to help injuries heal faster. They can be worn during rigorous activity or just while going about your daily routine.

The Zeuba Vital Knee Support has actually been used by Olympians for decades and features an athletic, visco-elastic massage ring that activates and stabilizes muscles, as well as an adjustable Turbo-Strap that exerts pressure on the thigh to improve coordination for running. And, as always, entering to win these great prizes is a cinch!

To enter, leave a confirmed comment below telling us which of your body parts needs the most support.
The comment must be left before 5pm ET on Friday, May 15, 2009.
You may enter only once.
Two winners will be selected in a random drawing.
Two winners will receive his or her choice of the Back Support (valued at $134) or a Zeuba Vital Knee Support (valued at $66).
Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.
Click here for complete Official Rules. Winners will be notified by email, so make sure to check next week to find out if you've won!

Back. back and more back. I can always use some extra back support.

Travis 5-11-2009 @ 3:29PM

I have a problematic left knee which would appreciate a new brace. thanks

Tony 5-11-2009 @ 3:36PM

I could really use the knee brace for my right knee. After this year's marathon I banged it up pretty good.

Amy Silverman 5-11-2009 @ 3:40PM

I have bad knees from years of volleyball, but I'm only 47 so I'm always looking for ways to stay active/be more active. I would love to try this new type of brace. Thanks.

Knees for me!

bob 5-11-2009 @ 5:01PM

after (3)spine surgeries I would try any back brace that would help get me back on the soccer field.

MRS.MOMMYY 5-11-2009 @ 4:46PM

Carrie Miyake 5-11-2009 @ 4:52PM

I could use both of these but I need the knee one more.

Sandra K321 5-11-2009 @ 4:58PM

My son could use this for his knee. He plays lots of sports and it's always good to be prepared.

Kristin 5-11-2009 @ 4:58PM

My poor pathetic knee needs some help! Maybe I could actually start running again!

I think it would be my ankle. It used to be that I would go for a simple walk and if I stepped on unequal ground, I would twist it just like that...Hasn't happened in a while though (knock on wood!).

jasonsheneman 5-11-2009 @ 5:07PM

My aching back would be ever grateful.

readergirl 5-11-2009 @ 5:11PM

i would love some help with my back!

Tash 5-11-2009 @ 5:19PM

Three knee operations and a reconstruction at the age of 22. Sounds like a nightmare, does it not?

At least yoga keeps me active! I'd wear the knee brace whenever it rains or if I feel the urge to run up eight flights of stairs. Sadly, that's what I did on Saturday. The things we do. :)

Ken 5-11-2009 @ 6:04PM

Bad knees! Bad knees!

sara 5-11-2009 @ 5:56PM

my lower back is crying out in around six languages for some well-designed support!!!

Candace Edmonston 5-11-2009 @ 6:15PM

The morning after my wedding, two years ago, I slipped and fractured my back (L4). I am an avid climber and boulderer and have gone through a lot of different back braces looking for support for bad days and or during athletic activities. (ie: falling off bouldering walls) Either way, I'm glad I found this particular model. If not won, I'll probably buy one.
Thanks!
