2x Compression Knee Support Sleeves

Sports Injuries

For athletes, maintaining agility and strength in the knees is of utmost importance. Compression knee support sleeves are a vital part of their kit, serving to prevent injuries and support an already damaged knee. The stability provided by the sleeve can prevent accidental twists or falls that could lead to severe injuries. Opting not to wear a compression sleeve in such scenarios could result in further harm to the knee.

Post-surgery Recovery

Post-operative recovery often requires additional support, particularly for the knee. Compression knee support sleeves are a non-invasive means of providing this support, reducing swelling, and promoting faster healing. Absence of this added support could delay the healing process and potentially escalate the risk of complications.

Patellar Tracking Disorder

This is a condition where the kneecap (patella) moves out of place as the leg bends or straightens. In this case, a compression knee sleeve can help by providing stability and maintaining proper alignment of the patella, reducing the chance of it veering off course. The sleeve can apply constant gentle pressure on the knee joint, helping to keep the patella in place. Without it, you could risk further displacement and increased pain.

Knee Instabilities

Knee instability can be a result of weakened or injured muscles and ligaments around the knee. In such cases, a knee sleeve can provide extra support, help control movement, and prevent the knee from giving way. It enhances proprioception (the body’s ability to sense movement within joints), helping to improve overall balance and stability. Not using a knee sleeve could potentially result in further injury or damage to the knee.

ACL/PCL/MCL/LCL Injuries

An Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), and Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) injury can all benefit from a compression knee sleeve. After a ligament injury, a knee sleeve can provide needed support and stability. It can also help control swelling around the injured area due to its compression quality. Failing to wear a knee sleeve could result in prolonged recovery, increased pain, and possible re-injury.

Meniscus Injuries

The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that provides a cushion between your thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia). Injuries to the meniscus can be painful and cause swelling in the knee. A compression knee sleeve can provide support to this area, helping to control the swelling and provide stability. Failing to wear a knee sleeve might prolong the healing process and increase the chance of further injury.

Runner’s Knee

This condition, also known as patellofemoral pain syndrome, is common among athletes and individuals who frequently engage in activities that put repetitive stress on the knee joint, like running or cycling. The compression provided by the knee sleeve can help alleviate the pressure and reduce pain. It can also improve blood circulation, helping accelerate healing and recovery. Without it, the continual strain could potentially exacerbate the condition and prolong recovery.

Osteoarthritis

This is a type of arthritis that occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. Wearing a compression knee support sleeve can help manage pain and stiffness, and improve mobility. It does this by providing warmth and pressure to the knee joint, enhancing blood flow, and providing a gentle massage effect. Without such support, the symptoms of osteoarthritis can worsen and affect quality of life.

Knee Bursitis

This condition is an inflammation of the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac located near your knee joint. Knee bursitis can cause pain and limit your ability to move your knee freely. A knee sleeve can help reduce inflammation and pain, and improve mobility. Without a knee sleeve, the continued inflammation can cause more pain and limit your ability to perform daily activities.

Tendinitis

Tendinitis, a painful and mobility-limiting inflammation of the tendon, can also be managed effectively with a compression knee sleeve. Consistent pressure on the afflicted area can bring down inflammation and manage pain. By not wearing a compression sleeve the inflammation may linger, and mobility issues could persist.

Osgood-Schlatter Disease

Growing adolescents often experience knee pain due to Osgood-Schlatter disease. The condition is marked by inflammation just below the knee where the patellar tendon attaches to the shinbone. A compression knee support can help alleviate the pain and reduce the inflammation associated with this condition.

General Knee Pain

Even in cases of general knee pain, a compression knee support can offer relief. The pressure from the sleeve can help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow, which in turn can decrease pain.
