Compression Knee Braces

What is a compression knee brace?

Compression knee braces utilize the power of pressure to keep the knee area supported and stabilized. Often they're used by athletes in recovery from injuries, people who are aging and noticing increased pain in their knees, or people who experience chronic joint pain or stiffness due to conditions like arthritis.

Often thin sleeves of stretchy material, compression knee braces are easy to apply and remove, and many include silicone edging to help keep the brace in place on your leg without rolling down. This type of brace is great for adding protection during running or sports, and not only helps relieve pain, but can also help to prevent further injury.

The most notable difference between a compression brace and other types of knee braces is that these knee sleeves still allow full range of motion in the knee. This is a significant benefit, especially for people engaging in activities like sports and running because it doesn't stop you from being able to move freely. Recovery happens while you remain on the go. 

How are compression knee braces used?

Compression knee braces are a great solution for both acute and chronic injury recovery. They can also be used for long-term pain relief in conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and aging-related joint degeneration. Offering protection for stiff, swollen, or painful knee joints, these compression braces help to promote circulation, facilitate joint mobility, and prevent hyper-mobility that can cause pain or further injury.

Most commonly, people seek out a compression knee brace for sports or running, and they are an exceptional solution to help you stay active in your favorite activities while still protecting you from pain and injury.
