Introduction: Do you enjoy playing tennis, but there are those times that your knees really bother you? - Maybe you have tried other measures, but they have not worked. - Now, is the time to read this free information to see what kind of knee brace can work for you.
Scenarios That Create Pain On The Court
A.) Coming to a quick halt, after chasing down a ball at the net or elsewhere on the court
B.) A quick stop and back peddle
C.) Squatting and standing with repetition
What A Knee Brace Can Do
When you are on the court and pain or instability start to kick in, then you are going to have to come up with something to help augment your stability and reduce your pain.
Rest, Ice & Elevation Procedures
Sure you can leave and go rest your knee, but you never know how much rest is enough to make the problem completely go away, right? - Maybe ice and elevation have appeal to you, but this is more likely a situation that you will use off the court.
What about on the court!?
A knee brace on the court can really help to provide stability when you need it. Side to side movements, sudden stops, and front to back movements can really spark instability and pain issues. This is where a knee brace can help!
- These excessive and painful movements can be limited with the use of a well designed knee support.
Knee Braces For Different Levels of Pain & Instability
1.) Elastic Knee Sleeves: Usually made from drtyex or neoprene, these braces can add a little extra support and can act as a reminder not to make certain movements on the court. This can be helpful, but purely elastic knee sleeves should not be considered for major knee problems. You will need more support for more serious conditions.
2.) Hinged Knee Braces: There are two different kinds. One for mild to moderate issues, and then another for moderate to severe knee instability and pain. Just remember, the bigger the knee joints and uprights the more serious the knee condition. - Many times, (but not all the time) you will find that a brace for mild instability costs under $50, while moderate to severe knee supports are more expensive...
The Bottom Line
In the end it is your choice to use a knee brace or not. It will save you a ton of money if you help support your knee now, before something really bad happens and you need to get serious medical treatment.
