Medical-grade compression applied to the knee with the BioSkin Ultima Knee Sleeve Open Patella can enhance recovery from a number of injuries, including swelling, general pain, mild sprains and osteoarthritis. The increased circulation from the compression allows more nutrient-rich blood to flow through the site, speeding recovery and also preventing overworked muscles, the most common cause of injury.
Compression also increases proprioception, or the positive sensorimotor feedback sent to your brain. This feedback improves your confidence and coordination during movement, so your knee works more efficiently and further prevents injury.
