We Successfully hosted a patient webinar on knee pain and arthritis with Dr. Joel Prasad, Consultant Orthopedic, Sports Medicine and Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon.

The session was built around one question we hear constantly from patients: "Do I really need a knee replacement?"

Dr. Joel Prasad walked through what actually causes knee arthritis, how it's graded, and the evidence-based non-surgical options available long before surgery becomes necessary — lifestyle changes, weight management, bracing, and where supplements genuinely help.

More sessions like this are on the way. If knee or joint pain is something you or your family are dealing with, follow along — we'd like you to be in the room next time.

Flexible muscles mean happier knees.

Gentle daily stretches for your thighs, hamstrings and calves can help support the knee joint and reduce strain. Hold each stretch gently, breathe normally, and never bounce or force the movement.

For people with knee osteoarthritis, the Freestyle OA Knee Brace provides targeted offloading and support during everyday movement. Use it as advised by your doctor.

If stretching causes knee pain, stop and consult your doctor.

If you've been told you have knee osteoarthritis, take a breath — it isn't the end of an active life.
Osteoarthritis is common, and very manageable. With the right mix of gentle movement, healthy habits, and your doctor's guidance, many people keep doing the things they love for years.

For some, the right support helps too. The Freestyle OA is an unloader brace, designed to take load off the worn part of the knee — so everyday movement can feel more comfortable and supported.

A diagnosis is a starting point, not a full stop. Ask your doctor if the Freestyle OA is the right brace for you.

Off-Loading Braces: An Under-utilised Adjunct in Knee Preservation

The meniscus carries 50–70% of load in extension, up to 90% in flexion. A root tear wipes out that mechanism — hoop stress lost, contact pressure comparable to total meniscectomy.

We repair the anatomy well. But the repaired tissue still heals under repetitive compressive and shear load.

An off-loading brace applies a controlled valgus or varus moment, shifting force away from the affected compartment — unlike a sleeve, which only compresses.

In medial compartment OA the evidence is established: better pain, walking ability and function, with guideline support for patients hoping to delay arthroplasty.

The same principle may protect selected patients after meniscal root and complex repairs. Prospective data is still needed — but the biomechanical rationale is compelling.

Perhaps it is time we saw off-loading braces less as OA pain relief, and more as a joint preservation tool.

The best moments are the everyday ones — a walk with the son, at your own pace.
When knee osteoarthritis makes those harder, the right support can help. An Offloading brace like the Freestyle OA is designed to take load off the worn part of the knee, so moving can feel more steady and comfortable — and staying part of the things you love feels a little easier.

It works best alongside your doctor's plan. Ask if the Freestyle OA is right for you.

It's the step almost everyone skips — and it's one of the simplest ways to protect your knees and muscles.
A warm-up.

Before a walk or any activity, a few gentle moves — slow marching, easy knee bends, ankle circles — prepare your muscles and joints for what's coming. Cold, stiff muscles strain far more easily. Warm ones move smoothly and safely.

It takes just two minutes. Please don't skip it.

Start slow, stop if anything feels sharp, and check with your doctor if knee pain is ongoing.

A knee sleeve and a knee brace can look similar — but they do very different jobs.

A knee sleeve adds gentle compression and warmth. It can feel comforting and supportive for mild, everyday aches.

An offloading brace like the Freestyle OA works differently — it shifts load away from the worn part of the knee, easing pressure on the joint. That's what makes it suited to knee osteoarthritis.
Neither is simply "better" — they're built for different needs. Your doctor can tell you which one is right for your knee.
