What is the Neoprene Knee Support Suitable For?
- Knee sprains and strains
- Tendonitis
- Arthritis
- Patellar tracking issues
The Ultimate Performance Neoprene Knee Support is suitable for all mild to moderate knee injuries. Compression is crucial following acute sprains and strains to protect the knee and help reduce swelling. Tendon injuries in particular benefit from the heat retention provided by neoprene, aiding in conditions such as tendonitis and arthritis.
How does it work?
To fit, simply pull on the knee sleeve. The soft neoprene provides support and warmth for arthritic, stiff or aching knees. Also, the tailored design combines the effects of Neoprene with firm, even support for all-day comfort.
The Patella opening relieves pressure on the knee cap and improves patella tracking for additional support. Lock-stitched seams make the support durable without causing irritation or restricting movement. Heat encourages blood flow and circulation, which as a result, aids the healing process.

Benefits of Neoprene for Knee Supports
Using Neoprene for knee supports has the following benefits:
Flexibility and Comfort
Neoprene is a flexible material that conforms to the shape of your knee. It provides a comfortable fit without restricting movement.
Neoprene retains heat
Neoprene retains body heat, which helps to increase blood flow to the injured area. This reduces pain and promotes faster healing.
Compression
Neoprene supports provide consistent compression, which helps to stabilize the knee joint, reduce swelling, and support the muscles and ligaments.
Durability
Neoprene is a highly durable material that resists wear and tear, making it ideal for long-term use in sports supports. Its resilience ensures that the support maintains its effectiveness over time.
Overall, neoprene provides a combination of comfort, support, and therapeutic benefits. Chronic tendon injuries in particular benefit from heat when recovering from injury.
