How to choose
A few things worth checking before you buy.
Safety first. Stop using a support if it causes numbness, swelling or skin marks, and see a doctor. Supports are not a substitute for treatment.
- Measure carefully; a support that is too tight or loose does not help.
- Choose breathable, washable material for daily wear.
- Use a support for activity, not all day, unless advised.
- Ask a doctor or physiotherapist before using a brace for a new injury.
Before you buy
Should my parent wear a knee brace all day?
