Brace for Runners Knee

How does a Runners Knee Brace help?

Runner’s knee, also known as patellofemoral joint pain, is a painful condition where the knee cap becomes irritated by movement on the femur bone.

Irritation can develop if the kneecap is malaligned or the joint is not used to the intensity or volume of training undertaken. In many cases, malalignment of the knee cap can be due to tightness in muscles around the knee or poor strength of muscles around the hip.

A brace for Runner’s knee helps by providing stability, compression and alignment to the patella to reduce pain and improve the perceived stability of the kneecap.
