The Thermoskin Elastic Support Knee is also recommended in the first 72 hours of an acute knee injury to assist in reducing swelling and help in providing pain relief. It is recommended to ice the area to reduce inflammation in conjunction with the elastic knee support. After the first 72 hours a thermal knee support is recommended.

Knee supports are a useful healthcare product providing additional support for weak or injured knees or as additional protection . The moderate compression of the Thermoskin Elastic Knee makes it a good choice for people who would like more support but require free range of movement.

Knees provide support and stability for the whole body. Both flexibility and knee stability are required to perform many daily activities such as standing, sitting, squatting and turning. More pressure and strain is placed on the knee when we undertake strenuous activities such as running and skiing. Knee injuries may be caused by direct blows to the knee, increased intensity in knee activity, increased weight bearing or strain on the knees and also osteoarthritis of the knee.
