Some of the most typical joint pain people feel is due to knee problems. Knee support can reduce knee pain, promote mobility, and enhance "knee confidence," a term used to describe how confident you are that your knee will support you.

The knee serves as a hinge joint between the hips and the ankles. The knee rarely serves as the initial source of pain unless it is brought on by

• Osteoarthritis
• Degeneration
• advanced age,
• a ligament injury.

Most frequently, the increased pressure on the knees is brought on by recurrent ankle injuries or hip weakness.

As a result, your knee muscles cannot support you as you play, exercise, or carry on with your daily activities. While knee support compresses the joint to increase stability, it also impacts how well the muscles around the knee work.

What are Knee Braces or Knee Support?

A knee support or brace's primary function is to support and stabilise the knee to lessen excessive joint mobility and prevent knee problems from worsening.

Utilising a knee support system

• helps you avoid injuries,
• lessen knee pain,
• and recover more quickly.

Your healthcare professional will advise when and what kind of knee support is best for you based on the condition of your joint injury or its health status.

When do we need it?

Physicians frequently recommend knee braces to patients who have had an ACL tear or another kind of knee injury. The knee brace may offer additional support while you're recovering.

The following are three varieties of knee braces that offer structural support: 

• According to studies, these braces give the knee additional stability and protection following an injury.
• Therapeutic braces restrict the knee's ability to move sideways and up and down while it recovers from an accident or surgery.
• Preventative braces. These are made to shield the knees from harm when playing contact sports.

The following considerations should be taken into account when deciding whether to wear structural knee support:

• Exactly which ligaments are hurt
• what therapeutic interventions you've had, 

Consistency can be challenging when getting the most out of your knee brace. Additionally, roughly 25% of people who wear knee braces for medical reasons report minor difficulties or problems with their brace.

The following list of causes can lead some persons to quit using their knee brace:

• Skin sensitivity
• bad fit
• Absence of relief
• uncomfortable to wear it 

In various situations, knee braces help ease pain and protect your knee from danger. To get the most out of wearing your brace, it's crucial that you use it appropriately and that you get in touch with your doctor or physical therapist about any changes in your needs.

The key to achieving the benefits you want from your brace and ensuring it is as pleasant (and effective) as possible is to wear the proper brace and get a good fit.

To serve this purpose, the best advice would come from your physiotherapist, who would suggest the best fit and shape based on the nature of damage to the knee joint.
