Knee Support For Hiking
However, a sudden injury, an overuse injury, or an underlying condition like arthritis can cause knee pain and discomfort. The pain limits your mobility, and when you continue to put extra weight on your injured knee, the condition becomes severe. The severity and degree of knee pain may vary; you may see visible swelling around your affected knee and feel joint inflammation.

Your GP can ask you to bend and straighten your leg to check if there is any fracture or dislocation of the kneecap or any torn ligaments. He will also suggest imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans to examine the root cause of pain in your knees.
After a lengthy hike, do some light stretching to help the muscles repair. Mild stretching after a day of trekking on the rocky trails can help promote faster recovery. Moreover, massage and heat therapy are great ways to reduce joint inflammation and stiffness. Another method for treating knee pain and healing injury is wearing a knee brace.
A brace may help you by shifting your weight away from the affected portion of your knee. Wearing a brace can also help you walk for longer periods of time and boost your mobility.

Hikers’ knee is the most common knee injury among avid hikers. The typical symptom of the hikers’ knee is the pain around the knee cap. You may also feel swelling, loss of range of motion, a popping sensation, and instability of your knees. It may develop after several hours of hiking.
Your knee brace does not get too tight because tightness can stop the circulation, resulting in more pain, swelling, and you can even feel numbness in your leg. Take the help from your healthcare professionals to choose the best knee brace for hiking.
Follow the given instructions to keep your knees safe during hiking:
- Stretch your knees before hiking and afterwards
- Wear quality hiking boots
