Help get relief from knee pain and swelling with the popular GenuTrain Knee Support by Bauerfeind. The knee support has a silicone insert that leaves the patella, or kneecap, free of pressure during sports or everyday activities. Intermittent compression to the knee joint"s soft tissue helps increase circulation, which reduces swelling while avoiding constricted circulation. The knee support also promotes proprioception (balance) to help with a sense of stability. Stainless steel stays prevent the knee support from rolling or bunching. The knee support"s breathable knit will not retain heat and is machine washable.
