Actimove Arthritis Care Compression Knee Support

The Actimove Arthritis Care Compression Knee Support is designed to retain body heat in your knee and provide light compression, helping to relieve the pain and swelling associated with arthritis of the knee. The unique ceramic fibres work together with the compressive material to warm your knee while improving both circulation and mobility.

Please note that this support is ambidextrous, meaning that it can be worn on either the left or right knee.

What's Included?

• 1 x Knee Support

Which Size Actimove Arthritis Care Compression Support Should I Choose?

The Actimove Compression Knee Support is available in five sizes. To determine the correct one for you, simply measure the circumference of your thigh just above the knee (as illustrated) and refer to the sizing table below.

If you fall on a sizing boundary, we recommend choosing the larger size of the two for maximum comfort and support.

How Do I Know I Have the Right Fit?

Provided you have correctly followed our sizing advice above, your Actimove Knee Support should provide a tight level of compression that squeezes the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the knee area inward. This promotes healing and rehabilitation by encouraging blood flow to the area.

If you have the right fit for you, you should begin to feel the benefits right away. Standing, walking and even running should feel easier and any lingering instability should have begun to fade when the brace has been worn for a few days.

How Comfortable Is the Actimove Compression Support?

As this brace is designed to be worn for long hours of the day, it is made with irritation-free materials and breathable fabric. Completely latex-free, this brace is perforated to make it comfortable whether you're sitting at a computer or taking part in sports.

How Tight Is the Actimove Knee Support Brace?

Designed to provide compression and improve circulation, the Actimove Knee Support fits snugly around the knee. We recommend choosing the larger size of the two if you happen to fall on a sizing boundary, as only a small amount of compression is needed to experience the pain relief and circulation benefits of the support.

What Is the Value of Tight Compression?

If your support feels slightly tight, this is because it is providing the necessary compression required to increase blood flow and support tired and loose ligaments in the knee area. Compression increases circulation and realigns muscles and tendons that are out of place, creating a strong and more stable joint.

How Do I Apply the Actimove Knee Support?

This support includes no straps, buckles or adjustments, so it's easy to apply in seconds. Simply slip the brace on so that the lighter motion comfort zone is placed over the patella, and you'll be enjoying pain-relieving compression immediately.

The image below shows the proper application procedure.

Who Should Use the Actimove Compression Knee Support?

This knee brace is designed to provide a compressive effect that will relieve pain associated with many common knee conditions and irritations. In particular, this support is suitable for:

• Arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Repetitive strain disorders
• Swelling
• Use while reintroducing activity after injury
• Degenerative knee conditions
• General knee pain

Will This Knee Brace Relieve Pain?

Yes, this knee support is designed to relieve pain in two ways:

1. Heat-Retention: Unique ceramic fibres reflect body heat back toward the knee, soothing the area and increasing blood flow
2. Compression: The brace will provide light compression to the knee, helping to increase circulation, promote healing and manage pain

How Do Ceramic Fibres Increase Heat Retention?

Aside from the compression this brace provides, its main benefit comes through the heat-retaining ceramic fibres designed to trap the body's heat. As is shown in the diagram below, ceramic fibres work to target Far Infrared Radiation to the knee, which helps to improve mobility, promote blood flow and relieve pain. This soothing warmth effect allows the brace to provide a greater pain-relieving effect when compared to braces that are made with compressive fibres alone.

Can I Play Sports with the Actimove Compression Arthritis Brace?

Yes, this brace allows full movement of the knee, making it suitable for use during sports. The materials used are lightweight, breathable and irritation-free, meaning you can wear the brace for hours of activity without fear of chafing.

How Durable is the Actimove Knee Brace?

As this arthritis brace is designed for everyday wear, it has been reinforced to stand up to the rigours of hours of daily use. The edges are reinforced to prevent fraying, and the seamless design helps to ensure the compression of the brace will remain constant for a long period.

Does This Brace Contain Neoprene or Latex?

No, this brace is made from high-performance material that is both flexible and breathable for all-day comfort. This material is both latex- and neoprene-free, which makes it an ideal brace for people with sensitive skin.
