Fabulous Product

I have degenerative issues with my right knee (a bakers cyst and osteoarthritis). I am a race/power walker and bought this knee support to keep the pain and swelling down both during and after my workouts. It has done the job! I have had NO issues with it slipping, even though I sweat profusely during my workouts here in the Texas heat! I now own them in every color. They are made really well and have endured multiple washings. I wear a Medium size in this knee support.

Helps support but it does slip

I bought this compression sleeve to help support my knees after I had them both injected with platelet rich plasma for regeneration of my meniscus. I had a lot of swelling and pain and these sleeves were amazing at helping with knocking down the pain significantly. I used them for my physical therapy after a week, and began to use them on my bike, and then eventually worked up to hiking mountains and rock climbing. They do slip quite a bit now especially if I sweat. I have not yet tried them on the outside of my leggings but that would probably help with friction. It's just that it's too hot and I need shorts. I am worried these won't work for the alpine climbs I have planned because they will slow me down by needing to pull them up every couple of minutes. Maybe order a much smaller size to compensate for when they stretch out?

Sport compression

Purchased the sport compression brace and it was wonderful the first three weeks. Comfortable, fit well and helped with post surgery knee surgery. After three weeks, it began to slip. I exchanged it for the exact same brace and that one is slipping after only one week. I love the brace when it works properly. My measurements are 15 1/2 which is a large.

Happy Knee on the trails

I went to the doctors to have them look at my knee.. I said I had A 150 mile trail race in 90 days ,and they needed to take care of this knee.. two days before my race they decided I had a torn meniscus ..(at first it was arthritis.. so they said and I needed surgery ) A friend of mine told me about this knee brace ..I got this knee brace for the race, ran for 60 hours and never felt a single bit of pain on my knee.. I have decided to make this a part of my outfit.. I own almost every color of this knee brace ,the torn meniscus is gone but I still wear this.. as a runner you still get aches and pains in your knees maybe it's a placebo ,I do not know ..but I refused to not wear my knee brace on long runs.. I have recommended this to so many other runners during races.. if they forget the name of it ,I've had so many people send me private messages and ask me. About the knee brace I was wearing and told them about, there are no pads or wires or anything in this knee brace ..it is so comfortable I have worn it as long as 60 hours in a race, and have not felt any pain or discomfort at all .. I highly recommend this knee brace.. I really need a purple one .. thank you Beaufiend for making the best knee brace ever.:

Game Changers

51 year old, still running full court. More aches and pains now, but these compression sleeves have been a game changer. Bought one for a torn meniscus, then bought another for soreness in my other knee. They really take the pain away and the compression feels GREAT, allows me to play 3x/week. Anytime my knees start aching, I put them on and feel almost instant relief. 5 stars.

GenuTrain® - Knee Brace
Knee support for active stabilization and targeted pain relief The new-and-improved GenuTrain provides secure support for mild instability and relieves knee pain and swelling. With a new Omega+ pad, the support provides targeted stimulation to sensitive areas of the knee that influence pain perception and mobility. Its anatomically-contoured knitted fabric with soft textured surface provides gentle massage and activates the body’s proprioceptors to keeps the support in place. Embedded stays with flexible bending zones and donning and doffing aids ensure a secure fit and make the support easy to put on and take off. GenuTrain is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, especially in the sensitive area in the back of the knee, for all-day wearing comfort. With medical-grade compression provided by a comfortable knitted fabric, the GenuTrain knee brace produces intermittent massage during movement, relieving knee pain and stimulating the body’s metabolic response. This improves circulation to bring more oxygenated blood to the affected tissue and reduces pain and swelling in and around the knee. GenuTrain’s uniquely-engineered design activates the body’s own stabilization mechanisms: Its soft knitted fabric is anatomically-contoured and texturized to ensure full contact with the skin, engaging proprioceptors that send signals to the brain. This feedback leads to improved control of the muscles stabilizing the joint. GenuTrain’s new-and-improved Omega+ pad protects and encases the kneecap, stabilizing the joint and massaging the surrounding tissue during movement. This feature enhances the pain-relieving and sensorimotoric effect of the support by stimulating two sensitive areas of the knee: the Hoffa’s fat pad and the base of the meniscus. In these Hoffa spots and meniscus wings, the viscoelastic gel material incorporates flexible massage nubs, providing additional selective stimuli during movement to counteract unnatural corrective habits. The GenuTrain knee support remains securely in position. Lateral plastic stays embedded in the brace have flexible bending zones that follow the user’s movement patterns and stretch the knitted fabric around the knee so it does not slip. Donning and doffing aids integrated into the stays make it easier to put the support on and take it off. Thanks to compression-reduced edges and a soft, airier knitted comfort zone in the hollow of the knee, GenuTrain is comfortable to wear, even during longer periods of intensive movement during the day.
