𝗞𝗻𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲? 🏃‍♀️

Pain around or underneath the kneecap can sometimes be linked to patellofemoral pain syndrome or patellar tendinitis (𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲).

It can be common in activities that involve lots of jumping, running, sudden changes of direction or repeated stop-and-start movements.

The 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶 𝗣𝗦𝗦 knee support has been designed to provide targeted support around the kneecap and patellar tendon:

🦵 Built-in patella strap helps guide the kneecap while regulating pressure on the patellar ligament.

⭕ Integrated silicone pad features friction dots designed to stimulate the patellar tendon and help relieve pain.

💨 And because staying active matters, the Clima-Comfort fabric helps wick moisture away from the skin - so you can stay comfortable during your workout.

Ready to give your knees some extra support? 💪

The 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶 𝗣𝗦𝗦 is available from our webshop - https://www.mediuk.co.uk/shop/genumedi-pss-knee-support-2022.html

Game, set... elbow? 🤔

With Wimbledon serving up world-class tennis over the next two weeks, it's the perfect time to clear up a common misconception...

Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow might sound sport-specific, but you don't need to pick up a racket or a golf club to develop either condition.

🎾 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘄 causes pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow.

⛳ 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗳𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗲𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘄 causes pain on the inside of the elbow and may sometimes be accompanied by tingling in the fingers.

From typing at a desk 💻 to DIY 🛠️, gardening 🌿 or repetitive manual work, everyday activities can place strain on your elbows too.

Christopher has patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) and was struggling with everyday movements that load the knee in a bent position.

🦵 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲? Everyday activities such as walking, using the stairs, getting up from a chair or even sitting for long periods can become uncomfortable with 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗞𝗻𝗲𝗲.

Despite the name, Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) doesn’t just affect runners or sporty people. It’s a common condition that causes pain around the kneecap and can affect people of all activity levels.

The 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶® 𝗣𝗧 has been designed to help support the kneecap and improve its movement, helping you stay comfortable and confident throughout the day.

🔍 How does it work?

✔️ An integrated silicone pad helps relax the outer thigh muscle
✔️ An adjustable strap allows the support to be tailored to you
✔️ An activating pad stimulates the inner thigh muscles
✔️ A reinforced patella ring gently supports the kneecap while reducing pressure

Small amounts of support can make a big difference when it comes to staying mobile and doing the things you enjoy 💙
