A Pair Knee Compression Sleeves With Straps/ Knee Brace

If you have pain or swelling in your knee, or if you want to avoid these issues, you might be wondering if a compression knee sleeve might help. These sleeves come in different styles and can help stabilize your knee joint. 

They aren’t the same thing as knee braces—knee braces limit the motion in your knee and are usually used when you’re recovering from a more serious injury. Compression sleeves add support, help protect the knee and can help with minor knee problems. before you try a knee sleeve, you should talk to your doctor about why you think you need one, especially if you’re dealing with an injury. 

“If you’re injured, wearing a knee sleeve is only one small part of your recovery. It is important to have a doctor diagnose your knee injury and, if needed, to work with a physical therapist to restore your range of motion, balance and strength so you resolve your issue long-term,” he said.
