The Epitact PhysioStrap Arthritic Knee Support helps to secure and hold in place fragile, tender or painful joints. It can be worn on a daily basis during any kind of activity. It contributes to a sense of stability that encourages you to continue or resume daily activities while you forget all about the knee support. It is crucial to keep walking in order to combat the aggravation of osteoarthritis. The knee cartilage is a poorly vascularised tissue, so its blood supply is dependent on joint movement. Extra-thin and discreet, the PhysioStrap has been specially developed to be worn under all types of clothing (trousers, skirt etc.). The technology is concentrated into a device of under 40g, and it will not slip or trigger any further discomfort behind the knee (popliteal fossa).
