Infrared Knee Support Sleeve

Product: This "Compression & Support Sleeve is part of the Tourmaline Far Infrared (FIR) Series.
Whether your purchasing to simply warm your knees during the day, use as a recovery aid from sports related injuries, suppress chronic pain, such as arthritis or osteoarthritis, or to provide that needed compression during sports activities, this sleeve was designed to maximize its use.
What makes this sleeve unique?
1. Free Range of Motion, Stays Firmly In Place: Designed for maximum comfort, there are no hard edges, instead, the elasticized fabric is ergonomically designed to provide the needed compression and support while keeping the maximum possible comfort.
2. This product is made with activated Black Tourmaline, a naturally occurring semi-precious crystal, containing Boron and complex silicate minerals - known as the "Electric Stone" - as it has been shown to produce a weak electrical charge, which is what enables it to produce and emit Far Infrared Rays (FIR) and Negative Ions. Before the Tourmaline is infused into the fiber it is crushed into powder and altered at the nano-scale to better react with lower temperatures (your own body temperature) to safely emit the Far Infrared Rays.

What Does This Mean?
a. The Tourmaline gives the product an antibacterial activity.
b. The FIR, while invisible to the naked eye, elevates the knee temperature without making you feel hot.
c. The FIR promotes the repair of tissues and the regeneration of cells, aiding in the reduction of inflammation and pain.
d. The Product gives you the comfort and support you need, while providing a bonus therapeutic property to the knee."

Use: My husband has been having issues with his knees, so I had him trial this knee support sleeve. He reported that it was "adequate. It was kind of in the middle of two typical options and didn't do either one well. It wasn't as tight a fit as my neoprene one, so it slid around more. It was also somehow bulkier. But it wasn't as flexible as my KT strips. I wasn't a fan at all of the design on it. I don't mind when it's under clothes or I'm working out at home, but it's ugly as sin and I wouldn't wear it out."

Verdict: It sounds like there are better options out there for the support that he is looking for from this type of product.

I received this product complimentary for review.
