Knee Support For Gym

WHY SHOULD YOU WEAR A KNEE SUPPORT AT THE GYM?

Gym exercises such as squats, lunges, leg extensions, uphill treadmill running and other deep knee flexion movements can cause additional pressure and stress to the knee cap, which can lead to pain or knee injury.

Wearing a Bauerfeind knee compression sleeve such as a Sports Knee Support or GenuTrain can enhance the stability of the knee joint and improve the blood circulation.

The medical-grade compression in Bauerfeind Knee braces and supports aids in eliminating lactic acid after a workout which causes cramps and reduces the recovery rate time.

The 3D knit weave is moisture-wicking and breathable, unlike most neoprene sleeves. 

If you are recovering from an advanced knee injury or hitting the gym after a previous knee injury, we recommend wearing a Bauerfeind brace such as Genutrain, Genutrain P3 or Genutrain A3.

Knee braces offer enhanced support, aid in the mobility of the joint and improve proprioception. The viscoelastic massaging pads in Bauerfeind braces massage the joints during movement aiding in faster recovery. 

 

WEIGHTLIFTERS USE GENUTRAIN KNEE BRACE AT THE GYM

Since weightlifting at the gym has one of the highest rates of knee injuries, professional weightlifters use GenuTrain at the gym to dissipate the pressure from the knees when lifting.

Take a look at Yu Hsiang wearing two Genutrain knee braces in both his legs when lifting to prevent any potential knee injuries. 

Investing in a good knee support can protect your knees from injuries which can keep you on the bench for months.

HOW TO TREAT COMMON KNEE INJURIES AT THE GYM?


Weightlifting puts a lot of load and strain onto your knees and ankles, which help with stabilising your feet and legs. A knee brace can massage the surrounding muscles and provide further support to the knee joint.

  • Strains or Sprains. Many strains and sprains can be treated with the RICE method: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. A good physiotherapist can assist with the recovery as well. If the strain is more severe it may require surgery.
  • Ligament Tearing. Ligament tears generally always require surgery. A torn ligament rebuild uses a graft of tissue, as the ligament will not typically heal properly otherwise. Surgery is minimally invasive, however it can take time for the tear to heal.

    Play it safe: Consult a doctor if you experience unusually intense and persistent ankle pain.
