KNEE SUPPORT SPORTIF

About

A "Sportif" knee support is specifically engineered for athletes and active individuals, providing targeted compression, stability, and protection during physical activity. These supports are typically made from durable, breathable, and moisture-wicking materials like neoprene or advanced elastic fabrics, designed to withstand the rigors of sports. They aim to enhance proprioception, reduce muscle vibration, and offer mild to moderate support to the knee joint, helping to prevent injuries, manage existing conditions, and facilitate a quicker return to activity. The design often prioritizes flexibility and comfort to allow for a full range of motion without hindering performance.

Uses

• Preventing knee injuries during sports and exercise.
• Providing support for mild knee instability.
• Reducing pain from overuse or minor strains.
• Enhancing proprioception and muscle performance.

Directions For Use

Slide the support over the foot and up the leg, centering the patella opening (if present) over the kneecap. Adjust for a snug, comfortable fit before activity.
