Knee Support For Running
The most common knee injuries in runners may include Runners Knee, Patellar Tendonitis (Tendinopathy), Kneecap Bursitis, Kneecap Subluxation, Medial Meniscus Tear, and Knee Stress Fracture. Tendons and ligaments attach the kneecap to thigh muscles or shin bones. Any malfunctioning in these components can cause Runners’ Knee. Patellar Tendonitis is an overuse injury due to repeated stress on your patellar tendon. Frequent and sustained pressure on the knee can cause Kneecap Bursitis.

Say goodbye to your knee pain
Our compression knee braces with a silicon padded ring are designed to provide excellent support and stability to your knee joints while moving, bending, and other strenuous activities.
For the initial stages, your healthcare professional may suggest natural home remedies. Rest the joints and apply ice packs to the affected areas to reduce pain and inflammation. Compression bandages help with knee alignment, and elevating exercises help reduce the swelling around the knee. You can also take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve knee pain. Physical therapy helps strengthen the muscles around the knees. In certain conditions, such as arthritis, corticosteroid injections are helpful.
Severe conditions, such as fracture and dislocation, may require surgery. Depending upon the situation, your doctor may perform partial knee replacement or total knee replacement. Partial knee replacement has a shorter recovery process than total knee replacement. Once a patient has recovered, the chances of the injury recurring may be high.
Therefore you should adopt some preventive measures, for example, try to run on soft surfaces during training or practice and avoid running on uneven surfaces. Losing weight can also be beneficial to prevent running-related injuries.
Wearing knee braces can support and protect your knees against resistance and blows. They also provide needed compression to speed up the healing process following a knee injury. At 360 relief, you can find a variety of knee supports to help with a knee injury caused by running.
