Actimove Supports and Braces FAQs
Do supports and braces really work?
Supports and braces can be helpful for a number of reasons:
- Providing protection and additional stability following injury.
- Helping prevent injuries from occurring, especially where the risk of injury is high, for example in contact sport.
- Limiting movement to assist post-surgery healing.
- Offering peace of mind to those suffering from conditions like osteoarthritis by adding extra support and unloading stress.
Do supports help with pain and discomfort?
A support or brace may help to take pressure off the part of your joint and help relieve pain. If your joint feels like it might give way during movement, a brace may also help you to move around with more confidence and comfort.
What is the difference between Actimove and Actimove Sports Edition?
Standard supports and braces can often become too hot and cause excessive sweating during sport and other activities, Actimove Sports Edition, on the other hand, is designed to keep you cool. It’s made with COOLMAX® AIR Technology providing exceptional breathability, which helps aids pain relief and healing while maintaining excellent moisture management to stop you from overheating and over sweating.
When is the best time to wear Supports and Braces?
Your doctor or medical professional will be able to provide you with exact guidance on how long you should wear a support or brace for your specific needs.
Typically, they are worn for a period of weeks after injury or surgery.
Can you wear a knee brace all day?
Yes, if needed you can wear a knee brace all day. If you have a particular injury or are participating in an activity or sport, wearing your support can help provide extra protection.
Can I wear my support or brace to bed?
Typically it is fine to wear your support or brace at night if needed unless otherwise instructed by a medical professional or doctor. We would advise seeking professional advice for guidance on your exact needs.
What is the correct fit for supports and braces – tight or loose?
It is important that the correct size of Support or Brace is worn for it to be effective. To find your size, simply measure the area needing support and match it against the size chart on the chosen product's page. It is important your support feels comfortable, it should not feel too tight.
What does Universal Size mean? Will the support fit me?
Universally sized products are designed to fit most body types. If you’re unsure, each product page details the maximum size that the support will fit up to.
What are the different types of knee brace? How do I know which brace is right for me?
- Knee Supports are typically popular with athletes experiencing mild to moderate knee pain as they offer more protection and stability than standard knee sleeves, without restricting movement.
- Hinged Knee Braces are mostly used post-surgery or by athletes requiring higher levels of protection and support. They restrict movement and keep the knee in the proper alignment when it bends to help prevent further injury.
- Knee Straps help prevent injuries to the patella and add compression to the patellar tendon to ease the pain. They are particularly helpful for those suffering from runner’s or jumper’s knee (patellar tendonitis).
- Open Patella Braces offer support and work to ease pressure on the knee, whereas Closed Patella Braces offer compression on the kneecap to offer additional support.
