How well does it support the knee and decrease knee pain? or is it just for arthritis/better blood flow....

Not much in the support.. but great pain reliever.. and helps with blood flow.. my knee feels great.

I wouldn't go so far as to compare the Incredibrace with a true brace. The compression helps ease pain and seems to make faster work of healing on my creaky knees.

This is a light brace. I have bad arthritis in both my knees (one needs to be replaced, maybe this winter) and it does help quite a bit. It is not as much support as one of the hinged braces, but it is not as cumbersome either. It provides compression and light support to keep the knee stable and take some of the pressure off it. It's also more breathable than most braces so more comfortable to wear. It's not a miracle cure, but it's about the best soft brace I've ever tried.

For me, it gives support--without all the sweating that the other sleeves create. I play basketball with it-- I have arthritis, no longer have knee injury, so can't say that it would relieve pain from that. When I started wearing it, I was recovering from injury, and it seemed to help. I wear it now, for support. It is not a brace---

The purpose of the product is to be a stabilizer for injured or sore knees. The stabilization effect is minimal. The side supports in this brace are oddly placed and cause pain as it presses on some areas. It increased my knee pain. I was not happy with the product.

I found it a great help for the problem I had. I injured a tendon in my knee where my knee actually tried to move sideways! It would not hold me up. This brace was most helpful as I waited for the healing to take place. And I was careful to be sure I rested it so it would heal. It gave me all the support I needed. I first tried the over-the-counter bulky ones and they caused too much rubbing and irritation. This fit like a glove. I hope this helps you.

It support the knee well when I have to get up and down. I don't feel pain unless I have to put weight on my knees. So I really don't think it's going to help much with the pain. It does keep the knees nice and warm.

It says it does, however I only think exercise can give the knee strength, I was in roll over accident and have bad muscle/nerve issues and it help keep spams sometimes under control and improves blood flow to muscles etc.

I don't really know if it will help your particular situation. I know that when I'm suffering from knee strain, it makes my knee feel snug and warm, which seems to lessen the discomfort over time. It's not a miracle cure, but it helps. Good luck to you!

I believe it would be good for that. However, it depends on how severe your condition is. I have found that it keeps things in place very well and comfortably, and it kept my knee from hurting during physical activity. Also if you wear it during physical activity it will significantly reduce the chances of getting water on the knee, and n last a lot longer without fatigue or pain. If you find that you need to wear it all of the time, I would recommend seeing a doctor.

my aunty had taken it for a month. She told me that the pain of the knee really lighten up. I did not know whether the answer can help you.

I have one for my rt. knee while it gives the mental effect of stability I would be very careful torquing your foot as this is a much softer brace unlike the ones with sturdier metal supports. It advertises metal but feels very flimsy the three Velcro fasteners I like and very comfortable under pants or jeans but for athletic activity I would worry about it.

It might help in that it would make you more aware of your knee position, but as a layman, I don't think it would have enough support to prevent hyperextension. In my case I couldn't get the brace to stay put while walking, could be a sizing issue - not sure.

No. Not much pressure on knees at all. Certainly no effect on circulation. I sit in this chair for 8 to 10 hours at a time with no such problems.

I am sorry to say but it has been so long since I used this knee support. I have or had arthritis in my knees. I have had both knees replaced and I am living again.

Sorry, unable to answer. I do know that it has greatly stabilized my knee during periods where it starts to hurt. Normally only have to wear for a day or two at a time. Not constantly.

I have wear them a few time in the past week. I have knee problems constantly and when running on the mill more than 3 miles, I could not stand the pain. I've tried knee straps and although it helps, the pain persist.Then I tried the Gel Force and the results are GREAT! It feels weird at the beginning, but after a few miles, I had no pain or discomfort. Recommended!

I would think it would be very helpful for a hip. It was a wonderful help for my knee!

I wear it when I run and it helps a little with the pain. It stays in place well, but does make your knees quite sweaty

only if its not put on correctly, mine sits comfortable to give me extra support on my knees. It certainly doesnt compare to the Orthapedic Brace which is designed to imobalise the knee. I want to still bend and walk so this is just fine for everyday.

Actually, I noticed good results in the form of reduced pain and swelling in both knees within one week. I had had increasing pain in my knees for over two years, so this supplement was like a dream come true for me. I have continued to take it for a year and a half (at reduced dosage) and the pain and swelling are basically gone!

My experience I used for support from a torn ligament to avoid my knee from slipping in and out of place. If you're using for support you will benefit with my experience with muscle and cartilage the body has to repair itself! Hope this helps!

It has helped to give me a little extra support. I guess it depends on what your cause is. My knees are losing the cartridge in them and they need to be replaced. I can't afford the surgery but these braces help a little. It is better than nothing.
