Protects and Supports Painful Knees
Our knee supports are designed by licensed physiotherapists to offer essential support to weak, painful and injured knees. The comfortable support gives a reassuring sense of stability whilst being discreet and comfortable to wear under clothes throughout the day.The knee support is best to use when you require additional support if your knees are giving way, hurting or making it difficult to walk.
In addition, the position of the patella ring also will help influence how well your support fits. Try and place this cushioned ring higher up on the knee as opposed to lower. The cushioning helps to offload the patella, keep it central and also to keep the support in place during a knee bend. A triple benefit!
