Do you believe you need an XXL knee brace? Let's make sure...
Here is the common way to take your measurements.
1.) Taking Your Measurements
A.) Take a circumference of your thigh, in the area that is located 6" above your knee center. 6" is equal to 15cm. This is a very important measurement, so record your answer.
B.) Take a circumference measurement at your knee center. Again, keep this on record.
C.) Lastly, it is important to complete this process by recording what your circumference measurement is 6" below your knee center. (Again, 6" is equal to 15cm.)
2.) Now That You Have Your Measurements
After taking your measurements and recording them, you can go online to many knee brace shops and figure out what size brace you will probably need. - Many times, the measurement 15cm above your knee is all you will need, but having the remaining two measurements will be of great help.
3.) A Custom Knee Support vs. Non Custom
Most of the time you will be able to find a well-designed, "non-custom" knee support that will help provide you with the support you need. These braces are far less expensive than custom knee braces, and most of the time people do not need to spend a ton of cash on a custom knee support. - Just a word to the wise.
Custom made knee supports sound fancy, but you are really going to pay a heck of a premium, compared to what you probably could have of found in a non-custom support. - In the end, it is your choice, we are just trying to make this point so you are aware of your options.
