Compressive knee support

Knee braces are very useful in managing knee swelling problems, especially when combined with 20 minute ice pack sessions with feet elevated.

The thin compressive tubes can often be worn underneath hinged or orthopaedic braces to alleviate joint swelling. 

Symptoms that often require a compressive knee brace:

1. Knee swelling from arthritis
2. Knee synovitis
3. Knee bursitis 
4. Post operative knee swelling

 A support will commonly deactivated muscles slowly, so remember to build your muscles up.
