The GenuTon Wide knee brace for wide hips is designed to relieve the knee joint and reduce inflammation and pain in the knee. The sizing system of the brace is adapted for people with pronounced hips, for whom standard brace models may not be effective.
The knee brace reduces pain and discomfort by creating a micro-massage effect that stimulates the receptors around the knee joint. The micromassage effect ensures a stable flow of nerve impulses through the central nervous system and restores balanced muscle function. This allows you to replace the feeling of pain with a feeling of compression.
The bandage also improves blood circulation and lymph flow in the tissues of the knee joint, which helps reduce inflammation, swelling and pain, and also increases joint mobility
The bandage is dynamic and its effectiveness increases with movement. It is recommended to use it during activity, removing it during periods of rest or sleep.
