Push Med Patella Knee Strap
The patella tendon can undergo a lot of strain during activity, leading to a number of conditions that can cause chronic pain. The Push Med Patella Knee Strap is designed to support the patella by applying direct pressure across the tendon to relief pain and absorb shock and vibrations.
What's Included?
Please note that this knee support can be worn on either the left or right leg.
Which Size Do I Need?
The Push Med Patella Knee Strap comes in one universal size that can be adjusted to fit most leg sizes. As a result, you will not need to take any measurements before buying.
Which Conditions Can the Push Med Knee Strap Help With?
Providing localised compression across the patella tendon, the Push Med Knee Strap can be used to treat the following conditions:
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Tendinitis of the patella tendon
- Jumper’s knee (apexitis patellae)
- Osgood-Schlatter disease
- Subluxation/hypermobility proximal tibiofibular joint
How Does the Push Med Patella Strap Support Your Knee?
The Push Med Patella Strap applies local pressure to the hamstring and support to the patella tendon, which relieves tension on the hamstring and the lower leg. The internal pad also works to absorb shock and vibrations that run through the knee when you land heavily on the feet during exercise.
How Comfortable is the Patella Knee Strap?
Featuring a high-quality, skin-compatible Sympress material, the Push Med Knee Strap offers unrivalled levels of comfort that is further enhanced by a correct anatomical fit. This ensures that the strap stays in a secure position and does not ride down the leg during movement.
How Do I Clean the Push Med Knee Strap?
Before washing, close the Velcro to protect the Push Med Patella Strap and other laundry. The support can be washed at temperatures up to 30 degrees Celsius, on a delicate fabrics cycle or by hand. Do not use any bleaching agents. A gentle spin-dry cycle can be used: after this, hang the brace up to dry in the open air (not near a heating source or in a tumble drier).
Customisable Compression
To meet the needs of your condition, the Push Med Patella Strap features an adjustable strap that allows you to customise the level of compression. For severe instances of pain, we recommend tightening the strap for greater compression. Then once pain starts to lessen, loosen the strap for greater levels of comfort.
Safety Guidance
There are no known disorders where the support cannot or should not be worn. In the case of poor blood circulation in the limbs, a strap may cause hyperaemia. Avoid applying the Push Med Patella Strap too tightly in the beginning. Pain is always a sign of warning. If the pain persists or complaints deteriorate, it is advisable to consult your doctor or therapist.
