Neo G Knee Braces

Neo G Brace Styles

All Neo G knee braces are a wrap around style. This style often fits better than pull up sleeves as you can adjust them to your knee, and they are really easy to get on and off rather than having to pull them up your leg. They tend to stay in place better than pull up sleeves and can also be tightened as swelling reduces.

All of these braces are made from heat therapeutic neoprene which helps improve local circulation, beneficial in the relief of arthritic pain or chronic aches and stiffness.

There are four categories of Neo G knee braces, each offering different levels of support and protection.  Here we will look at what conditions they are suitable for, how they work and which ones are most effective:

Basic: Protection Level 1

These Neo G knee braces are designed for use with mild knee pain including sprains and strains, general knee pain, bursitis, cartilage and ligament injuries, instability and arthritis. Basic level Neo-G knee braces:

1. Fit snugly providing some compression to the knee, supporting the muscles and ligaments
2. Retain heat which increases the circulation at the knee to aid healing

There are two types of basic Neo-G knee braces:

Closed Full Sleeve Knee Support: A full sleeve provides support all around the knee joint and retains heat well

Open Sleeve Knee Support: This style has a hole and support buttress at the front. This reduces the pressure on the kneecap and surrounding bursa which can be helpful when there is pain at the front of the knee e.g. from chondromalacia patella or Runners Knee and helps with patellar tracking.

Intermediate: Protection Level 2

These intermediate protection Neo G knee braces are suitable for mild to moderate ligament sprains and instabilities, meniscus injuries, arthritis, bursitis and general knee pain. Intermediate level Neo G knee braces:

1. Have inbuilt supports to provide targeted support where needed
2. Have adjustable straps, providing improved support for the knee cap and are made of neoprene to retain heat for healing, just like the basic braces.

Advanced: Protection Level 3

Advanced Neo G knee braces are designed to provide the maximum level of support for moderate to severe knee pain and instability.

They are suitable for moderate to severe cruciate and collateral ligament sprains, instability, bursitis, meniscus injuries and arthritic pain. Advanced level Neo G knee braces:

1. Use a combination of splints and hinges to help provide support and prevent further injury
2. Support soft tissue through compression and promote healing by retaining heat.

Neo G Knee Brace Straps

Knee straps are designed to put pressure through the patella tendon and provide support underneath the kneecap, therefore improving patellar tracking. This helps reduce the forces going through the kneecap and patella tendon. They are simple but extremely effective, and people often can’t believe how such a small strap makes such a difference to their knee pain.

Neo G knee brace straps are perfect for use with Osgood Schlatters, Chondromalacia Patella, patellar tendonitis (jumpers knee) and Runners Knee. Also good for general anterior knee pain around the kneecap.

Other Options

Choosing a knee brace can be difficult, especially as there are so many different braces on the market. Neo G knee braces are just one of the options out there, but they are definitely some of our favourites!
