The Compression Knee Brace provides moderate and even compression, suitable for a range of daily activities with weak or injured knees, such as walking, climbing stairs, squatting and even sitting. This support can also be worn during increased physical activity to prevent pain or injury caused by general wear and tear of the knee. The Thermoskin Compression Knee Support is also recommended for the first 72 hours after an acute knee injury to reduce swelling and relieve pain. In combination with the elastic knee support, it is recommended to freeze the area to reduce inflammation. Thermal knee support is recommended after the first 72 hours.
