Why knee pads help with osteoarthritis

When the knee joint becomes stiff and painful, the body often tries to compensate – which can lead to incorrect loading and even more discomfort. A knee brace for osteoarthritis provides external support that relieves the joint, improves blood circulation and counteracts swelling. This allows you to move more safely and with less pain.

A good knee protector:

• Stabilizes the kneeand reduces the risk of incorrect loading
• Relieves painby distributing the pressure more evenly across the joint
• Provides compressionwhich reduces swelling and promotes circulation
• Increases securityin everyday movements – from walking up stairs to getting up from a chair
