6 Essential Tips for Solving Knee Pain

Health

1.Max Knee Strap

If you have general knee pain, the Max Knee Strap should be the first support you try. It has upper, lower and side compression tubes that target quadricep misalignment and the patellar tendon to assist with tracking of the kneecap.

This support is recommended for:
• Pain associated with arthritis
• Patellar tendon issues
• Runner’s knee
• Iliotibial band issues

2.Adjustable Knee Support

If the Max Knee Strap isn’t providing the relief you need, try the Adjustable Knee Support. This support is adjustable and customizable to your needs through four independent straps. Pain may be addressed by simply adjusting the direction and tension on the straps.

This support is recommended for:
• Pain associated with arthritis
• Leg and knee fatigue
• Ligament issues
• Patella tracking issues

3.Open or Closed Comfort Patella Knee Sleeve

These knee sleeves are the same, but one has an opening over the kneecap while the other does not. Here’s the difference:

The open patella results in more control of the kneecap and is recommended for people who have an active lifestyle.
The closed patella results in more compression over the kneecap and retains more heat, which is good for pain associated with arthritis or bursitis or general applications.
Both knee sleeves are recommended for:
• Pain associated with arthritis or bursitis
• Pain and swelling around the knee
• Chronic knee pain
• General soreness

4.Self Adjusting Knee Stabilizer

If your knee is weak or slightly unstable, the Self Adjusting Knee Stabilizer is a good option for you. The criss-cross straps provide consistent support and compression above and below your kneecap.

The support has steel springs on each side. These help with maintaining a better walking stride and providing support for linear, straight ahead movement.

This knee stabilizer also has a horseshoe-shaped support buttress around the kneecap that helps stabilize and support the kneecap.

This support is recommended for:
• Weakness from past injury
• Knee instability
• Patella femoral issues

5.Adjustable Hinged Knee Brace

The Adjustable Hinged Knee Brace has the same criss-cross straps as the Self Adjusting Knee Stabilizer which provide great support to the kneecap. This brace also has metal hinges on each side that help with lateral movement and rotational and hyperextension issues.

This support is recommended for:
• Knee instability
• Rotational and hyperextension issues
• Collateral ligament support
• Multi-directional exercise
• Walking on uneven surfaces

6.OmniForce™ Knee Support

The OmniForce™ Knee Support is the perfect brace when breathability and moisture management are a must. The flat knit construction, a specialized manufacturing process, allows for breathable compression while also letting the support stretch when you move.

The support also has a gel support buttress around the kneecap that helps stabilize and protect the kneecap.

This support is recommended for:
• Pain associated with arthritis
• Pain associated with bursitis
• Swelling around the kneecap
• Pain associated with the kneecap or patellar tendon
