Knee

The amount of time you should wear a knee brace depends on your condition, activity level and the type of support you're using. Many people choose to wear a knee brace during activities that place extra stress on the joint or when they need additional support and comfort throughout the day. If you're recovering from an injury or surgery, or have been diagnosed with a specific medical condition, follow the advice of your doctor or physiotherapist, as wearing time will vary depending on your individual treatment plan.

Whether you can sleep in a knee brace depends on the type of brace and your healthcare provider's advice. Most knee supports are designed to be worn during everyday activities rather than while sleeping. Always check the instructions provided with your Thermoskin product. If your doctor or physiotherapist has recommended wearing a knee brace overnight as part of your treatment plan, follow their guidance.

Not typically. When used appropriately, a knee support or brace is designed to provide support and improve comfort during activity, not replace normal movement or rehabilitation. By helping you remain active and continue strengthening exercises, it may help maintain or improve muscle strength over time. Continue with any prescribed strengthening exercises and stay active as your condition allows. If you're using a knee support or brace for an extended period or have concerns about long-term use, speak with your health care professional for personalised advice.

If you are experiencing weakness in the knee or have suffered a knee related injury, a knee brace or support will help provide compression and support to the area. Our Thermal supports also provide additional heat and healing benefits to the knee but should only be worn 72 hours post injury. If you injury is more recent or you do not require the healing benefits of our thermal range, please view our compression range.
