Usage Tips

• If you encounter fit issues in extreme situations (sports with rapid accelerations and decelerations, uphill or long-distance running, high temperatures), wear shorts over the Physiostrap®.

How to care for your knee brace?
The sports knee brace is machine washable at 30°C or can be hand washed (without rubbing) with water and soap. Do not use detergent or stain remover (bleach, acetone, solvent, etc.). Allow to air dry naturally. Dispose of and replace the device as soon as cracks appear in the gel or if there is degradation of the fabric or seams.

When and for how long should I wear the sports knee brace?
PHYSIOstrap® is a knee brace for athletes with patellar pathologies (patellar syndrome, tendinitis, osteoarthritis, etc.). Therefore, it should be put on just before your sporting activity and worn only during dynamic movement. It can be used for prevention or to relieve pain as it preserves muscle strength. Outside of sports, you can wear the medical knee brace all day during daily activities.

What is its lifespan?
The Physiostrap® sports knee brace is equipped with durable fabric and high-quality materials, giving it an average lifespan of 6 months, provided that the instructions for use and care are followed.

How do I choose the right size?
Using a tape measure, measure the circumference of your knee in a semi-flexed position starting from the center of the patella. Then, refer to the size guide accessible at the top of the page. If you are between two sizes, it's better to choose the smaller one.
