Medi Genumedi PT Knee Support

The Medi Genumedi PT Knee Support provides effective pain relief by compressing and stabilizing the knee whilst also boasting superior comfort and massage properties. 

The Medi Genumedi PT Knee Support has a precisely positioned silicone ring that surrounds the patella which is laterally reinforced (on the outside of the knee) by the patella tension strap to give superior support and stability. This also promotes the correct sliding action and alleviates patellar tilt ensuring enhanced stability.

The Medi Genumedi PT Knee Support offers stabilization of the knee-cap whilst simultaneously massaging the thigh muscles which guarantee enhanced comfort. The massage pads stimulate and relax the inner and outer anterior thigh muscles. This promotes balance between the different muscles and helps maintain everyday stability. The Medi Genumedi PT Knee Support is invisible under clothes, featuring comfortable compression knit fabric with an ultra-smooth finish, plus breathable, skin-friendly materials ensure optimum comfort in cases of patellofemoral pain syndrome and patella lateralisation.
