The Science Behind Graduated Compression
Pressure that is strongest at the ankle and eases toward the calf gives your veins mechanical help moving blood upward — which is why swelling, leg fatigue and clot risk all drop. Worn daily by Kiwi nurses, long-haul travellers, athletes and expectant mothers.

Knee Braces for Support, Recovery & Everyday Confidence
A different kind of support
Unlike a compression sock, a knee brace targets the joint itself — wrapping the knee to steady it, hold in warmth and let you move with more confidence. Kiwis reach for one while recovering from a sprain or a minor ligament strain, keeping arthritis and general wear in check, or guarding a knee through sport, lifting and long days on their feet.
How much support you need
Lighter sleeves cover warmth, mild swelling and everyday reassurance; firmer braces bring in lateral support for a knee that feels unstable or is coming right after an injury. Use the measurement guide on each product for a snug, no-slip fit, and follow your physio’s advice for a diagnosed injury. Tracked delivery across New Zealand, free over $60.

Our FAQ
FAQ's for your New Knee Brace
Yes, when matched to the condition. Braces can reduce pain, improve stability, and support alignment during activity. They don't "fix" the underlying issue, so typically they are used with rehab exercises and medical advice if pain persists.
Skip use if you have a wound/skin infection under the brace, severe swelling that's rapidly worsening, numbness/tingling below the knee when the brace is on, or pain that increases with use. See a clinician after surgery or a new injury before bracing.
Sleeves/supports: compression for mild pain or swelling.
Patella-tracking braces: help keep the kneecap aligned.
Functional/hinged braces: stability after ligament injury (e.g., ACL, MCL).
Unloader/valgus braces: shift load away from arthritic compartments.
Your needs determine the style, ask your health professional if unsure.

Hand-wash in cold water with mild detergent. Air-dry flat, never tumble-dry, iron, or bleach. Avoid fabric softeners as they can break down the elastic and silicone grip.
