Shock Doctor’s Knee Compression Sleeve with Open Patella 865 offers protection and relief from mild to moderate instability and pain. It is classed as a Level 1 product, which means it gives primary protection.
Knees take a lot of strain every day, even without exercise such as hiking, cycling, running and mountain climbing. In the United States, there are over 700,000 knee replacements done each year and this is expected to rise to around 3.48 million procedures by the year 2030. In Australia, there was an increase of 88% between the years 2003 and 2014. It therefore makes sense to take care of your knees and protect them from injury and re-injury.
The knee is bound by an intricate system of ligaments, tendons, cartilage and muscle and, as such, is prone to wear and tear and injury. Our knees absorb one and a half our body weight with every step, so it perfectly understandable that knees develop problems over time, such as osteoarthritis and various major and minor injuries.
This compression sleeve with open patella is designed to alleviate mild to moderate pain associated with problems such osteoarthritis, sprains and tendonitis. It does this by helping to stabilize the knee joint and keeping the patella properly aligned. This assists in the healing process which, in turn, relieves any associated pain.
