Wearing a support adds compression and stability to a joint during sport, at work or while you get back to normal after a strain. The range covers the knee, ankle, wrist, elbow and back, mostly from Physiologix and Medicare Sport, in pull-on elasticated sleeves and adjustable one-size designs. Physiologix grades each support as Essential, Advanced or Ultimate, for mild, moderate or firm support and compression, and shows the level on the pack.
Elasticated sleeves are quick to pull on for a training session, while adjustable designs let you fine-tune how firm the support feels. Size matters as much as level, so measure around the joint as shown on the pack, because a support that is too tight can restrict circulation and one that is too loose will slip. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, ask our pharmacist or GP before wearing one on the leg or ankle, and get advice if pain or swelling does not settle. For aches around the joint, also see our pain relief range.
