Physix Gear Knee Support Brace - Premium Recovery & Compression Sleeve For Meniscus Tear, ACL, MCL Running & Arthritis - Neoprene Stabilizer Wrap for Crossfit, Squats & Workouts - For Men & Women

I run a long distance and have recently developed a severe "runner's knee" on both sides of my knees. I already have Osgood-Schlatter disease on my left knee which I also fractured (and has healed) last year, so realized that I'd need a good knee support if I run more than 10 miles. I have tried THREE (3) knee support braces/compression sleeves including "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" for that purpose, and wanted to list them for comparison. (1). Breg "FreeRunner". Formerly prescribed for the fracture and designed for an athlete/runner to help with their rehab. It did a great job staying in place during my 13-mile run. But it did NOT completely keep my knee pain-free as it normally would with stairs and biking. I started to feel the same discomfort --> disturbing pain around 10 miles. The brace is bulky so occasionally rubbed against the other thigh - which is a big NO-NO. (2). Physix Gear Knee Support Brace (this product): this is more of a firm compression knee sleeve than a brace. It did an amazing job in protecting my right knee which was suffering runner's knee. It fits like your favorite compression knee-high sock with no limit in movement and is definitely a more comfortable wear than PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve (#3). But the anti-slip grips of this knee sleeve at the top is tighter than PowerLix's and may feel a bit too tight. It is however never uncomfortable and the sleeve stayed on without rolling or chafing for an entire full marathon! I ran my first full marathon race in this sleeve with peace of mind and ease of knee :-) It kept my right knee totally PAIN-FREE during and post race. (3) PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve: This is a BRACE that is in a form of a compression sleeve. It holds my kneecap in place, protects my Osgood-Schlatter bump (bone protrusion), prevents abnormal gait due to the uneven pulls by the thigh muscles, keeps the optimal temperature inside, allows FULL range of motion. I can flex my knee all the way. It is nice and tight but never uncomfortable. I wore this on my problem left knee and ran the full marathon race this past weekend. It stayed on without ever sliding/rolling down or chafing for the entire 26.2 miles and I did not have to worry or think about it. Most importantly - Absolutely NO PAIN during and post race. I was SO amazed. [OVERALL] Both "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" & "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace" (this product) did an amazing job and are highly recommended for long-distance runners. They stabilize the knee joint and prevent pain/inflammation by right support and compression but ut never restrict the movement or stop the blood flow - even for hours! *Sizing: I took the measurements 4 & 5 inches above the top of the BENT KNEE in a sitting position. They fell between 15.3 -15.7 inch. So according to the sizing chart provided by the company, I got a MEDIUM for "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" and a SMALL for "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace". They fit perfectly. *Length: According to the product specification, "PowerLix Compression Knee Sleeve" is a bit longer than "Physix Gear Knee Support Brace". But due to the very firm fabric of PoweLix and very stretchy fabric of Physix, Physix knee sleeve ends up slightly taller than PoweLix when I wore them. *Color: Grey/Black for Physix looks stylish, and the grey circle at the kneecap helps adjust the sleeve in the right position. Grey/Black for PowerLix (this product) is almost entirely black (see photo - upper right). It doesn't look like the product photo on this webpage and thought I got a wrong product! Not sure about Blue which I didn't get. I hope they both last long!!! Thank you for reading my long review :-)

Es una rodillera muy buena. Aprieta de forma uniforme y, lo mejor de todo: las bandas de silicona hacen que no se mueva del sitio. La recomiendo.

I had stiffness around my knees for a few weeks, due to some injury during my PT sessions. That made it hard for me to walk around for longer periods of time. This knee sleeve from PhysixGear is very comfortable, provides good support and I could walk all day without getting any pain. Worth it to protect your knees if you walk, run or train a lot. A while ago, I bought the plantar fascitis ankle and heel support socks from the same company too, also a good buy.

I have recently taken up running and have experienced knee pain as a consequence. The support brace has helped with this, it is comfortable to wear, doesn’t slip or dig in and provides a good level of support. I would recommend giving it a go, anything that helps a woman of my age get running is good in my book!

Es un producto de calidad. Para una lesión de menisco en recuperación va muy bien para volver al gimnasio. 100% recomendable.
