Warm Therapeutic Compression
Known for its warmth, neoprene provides soothing heat compression to achieve optimal levels of pain relief. The two elements of warmth and compression work together to encourage blood flow around the knee, which in turn alleviates pain and promotes faster healing.
Flexible Comfort
Neoprene is also very lightweight and able to stretch in multiple directions, which allows the wearer to move with complete, unrestricted freedom. Not only does this make the brace more comfy, it also means that the brace can be worn during high-paced physical activities.
Improves Patella Tracking
Patella maltracking is one of the most common side-affects of living an active lifestyle, and can cause considerable amounts of pain and discomfort. To rectify poor tracking, this brace features an open-patella design that helps guide the kneecap through motion without sliding out of place.
