How to choose the right knee brace?

Once you feel pain in your knee it is vital to find the cause of the problem. The main cause behind knee issues can be due to strain on muscle and ligament from overuse or a biomechanical fault.

The best advice on treating your knee condition and on whether or not to use a knee brace to help will generally come from a physiotherapist. It is important to get on top of these issues as soon as they arise to avoid further muscle imbalance, weakness or a progression in the injury.

If you feel niggles in your knee or have been diagnosed and a knee brace recommended as part of your treatment, choosing the right knee brace is key to a speedier rehabilitation journey and reduction in pain.

Choosing the right knee brace will give you peace of mind while you engage in your favorite sport or everyday activity. Take a look at our table below to find the best knee brace for your medical condition.
