FAQ

What's the main purpose of wearing a knee brace?

A knee brace or knee support is designed to provide stability and relieve discomfort.

We recommend the OAPL Premium Knee Brace.

How do I choose the best knee brace for my needs in Australia?

Finding the best knee brace depends on your condition. For general instability, a knee stabiliser or knee support brace is ideal. For significant ligament issues, a hinged knee brace offers superior protection. We have one of the widest ranges of knee braces Australia wide to match your specific requirements.

A quality knee support can help reduce stiffness, while a specialised patella brace may provide added relief if arthritis is affecting your kneecap tracking.

What's the difference between a knee brace and a knee strap?

A knee brace typically offers broader coverage and support to the entire joint. In contrast, a knee strap or knee band is smaller and applies targeted pressure to the patellar tendon, making it excellent for specific conditions like Jumper's Knee or Osgood-Schlatter disease. We recommend the oapl patella strap.

Do you offer knee braces for post-surgery or serious injuries?

Absolutely. For significant instability or post-operative care, a rigid knee splint or sturdy hinged brace is essential. These supports, similar in function to a Zimmer knee splint, are designed to restrict movement and protect the joint during the critical healing phase. We recommend the OAPL Premium rom Knee.

My pain is right below my kneecap. Which support is best?

For targeted knee brace for pain relief below the kneecap, a patella knee brace or a simple knee strap is highly effective. This type of support helps to alleviate strain on the patellar tendon, providing direct relief where you need it most. We recommend the oapl trutrak patella stabiliser.

I'm looking for a brace for physical activity. What should I choose?

For sports, you need a brace that supports without restricting performance. A good sports knee brace offers a balance of flexibility and stability. Many athletes prefer an adjustable knee brace that provides strong compression and can be tailored for a perfect fit during training or competition.

Can I wear compression socks with a knee brace?

Yes, in many cases you can. Combining an elastic knee support with knee high compression socks can be beneficial for managing widespread swelling. However, ensure the combination isn't uncomfortably tight. For complex conditions, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider.
