Sore joints aren't a sexy subject which is why the aches and pains of many women go unnoticed. Till very recently if you had to wear a knee support for your painful joints you had to live with a one size fits all bandage- which predominantly focussed on men in terms of size and styling. Om average women have 10% smaller joints than men (research on 6000 women proved this), so it wasn't exactly an ideal solution.Wellgate has created a range of smaller supports which will help women exercise without the fear of pain or uncomfortable aches. Joint supports aren't just worn if you have a major health issue- they can help athletes get the best from turning and avoid overusing muscles in training.
I think it's a great idea- one of those 'why didn't they think of it sooner' moments. They're made out of lightweight breathable material and should aid your workout. You can choose from the high Performance knee which has a gel shield to cover the knee cap and neoprene for comfort, the Perfect Fit Wrist and ankle supports.
The new slimline supports will cost from £8.00 to £19.99 from Anglian Pharma.
