SHOULD I WEAR A KNEE STRAP WHEN RUNNING?

 

Uneven surfaces and fatigue carry with them the risk of injury. Some runners also suffer from unstable ligaments and tendons.

Wearing a Bauerfeind knee strap can minimise your chances of injury by providing enhanced stability, proprioception and medical-grade compression.

    HOW TO TREAT A RUNNING INJURY?

     

    We recommend visiting a physiotherapist for treatment and advice on treating common running injuries. They may recommend the following treatments.
    • Strains or Sprains. Many sprains and strains can be treated with the RICE method: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. A good physiotherapist can assist with recovery; however, prevention is always better than a cure.
    • Runner’s Knee is the common name for patellofemoral pain syndrome. It is often caused by abnormal mechanics caused by problems close to the knee, forcing the patella to bump against the femoral groove. We recommend speaking with a running-specific physiotherapist. They will usually review your running form as well as your tissue and musculature.
    • Ligament Tearing. Ligament tears will generally always require surgery. A torn ligament rebuild uses a tissue graft, as the ligament will not generally heal properly otherwise. Surgery can be minimally invasive however these injuries may take considerable time to heal.
