How Does A Bearhug Knee Support Sleeve Work?
What makes our compression knee sleeves so special is that they are each crafted with our unique bamboo charcoal yarn to deliver superior comfort and support you won’t find anywhere else.
Supports The Knee Joint
The knee is a hard-working joint, and wear and tear is common. Our bamboo technology makes Bearhug the best knee support for running and other sports. It works by providing extra support and cushioning to the knee joint and surrounding tissue, protecting against injury, reducing pain and boosting recovery.
Increases Blood Flow
The bamboo technology in our knee supports can increase blood flow in the leg and knee compared to other supports. This enhances your performance, flushes out toxins, reduces pain and inflammation, and promotes quicker muscle, ligament, and tendon repair so you can get back to doing what you love.
Provides Unrivalled Comfort
The round bamboo fibres in our knee support sleeves deliver ultimate comfort. Super soft, they won’t irritate your skin, slip out of place, or bunch up when worn, giving you peace of mind.
Superior Warmth
The clever composition of our knee sleeves delivers warmth like no other support, aiding compression and blood flow.
Compression When You Need It
Thanks to our careful weaving techniques and unique multi-directional stretch material you’ll experience a critical level of compression that is still comfortable without restriction. This helps our compression knee sleeves to reduce swelling and inflammation while providing unrivalled support.
Pain Relief
Whether you are looking for the best knee support for running with arthritis or for pain relief when working out, the unique bamboo targeted compression our knee sleeves provide eases stress on the surrounding tissue & joints.
Moisture Wicking Material
Crafted with seamless technology for enhanced ventilation and breathability, our knee supports for running and other activities eliminate sweat build up by immediately wicking moisture away when exercising.
How Can I Benefit From Wearing A Bearhug Knee Compression Sleeve?
Our compression sleeves for knees are suitable for everyone.
Support For Runners
Running can put a lot of stress on the knees, so injuries among runners are common. Whether you’re competing in a marathon, training for your first 5K, or take part in a weekly parkrun, the superior compression of a Bearhug running knee support helps to prevent injury and provides pain relief against niggles so you can chase after that PB!
All Sports & Fitness Levels
Our knee supports aren’t just for runners. They’re for anyone who exercises. If you take part in competitive team or solo sports, are an avid gymgoer, walking the dog or just love walking, our knee sleeves are for you.
Injury Prevention
It’s a common misconception that supports are just for those with existing injuries. In fact, the compression found in our knee sleeve provides an extra layer of cushioning to the knee joint to prevent damage, inflammation, and help you recover quicker.
Aids Rehabilitation
The increase of blood flow that our knee support delivers makes rehabilitation from injuries like sprains, twists, ACLs, and MCLs quicker. If you have a long-term condition such as arthritis, a Bearhug knee support can reduce painful swelling and inflammation, allowing you to get back to your being active sooner.
Suitable For All-Day Use
Our knee sleeve isn’t just for wearing during exercise. They’re comfortable to wear all day and can even be worn underneath clothes for ongoing support. When worn at rest, they reduce inflammation and safeguard against aches and pains.
Durability
Our knee supports are built to last thanks to the super strength of bamboo fibres. This means they’ll provide ultimate compression and support use after use. Our recommendation for care and washing is a lukewarm hand wash and hang dry
When can I use the knee support?
The knee joint is arguably the most important for lower limb and leg movement, which is why knee joints suffer most injuries and arthritis and why knee pain is a reoccurring issue for many. Without support and compression aches and pains can often inhibit exercise, running and being active.
The Bearhug knee support is designed to be comfortable to wear all day whether at home or work and can be worn discreetly under clothing if required. It can be worn to support you while running, walking around or resting to help reduce inflammation and swelling while providing pain relief from any aches, pains and arthritis.
The Bearhug bamboo knee support provides compression to the joint, ligaments, tendons and surrounding soft tissue. Increasing blood flow, enhancing performance, assisting with rehabilitation and recovery from exercise, running or arthritis.
The elbow support can be used to accelerate recovery and rehabilitation from ligament, tendon and elbow soft tissue damage like tennis elbow with the bamboo properties increasing blood flow. The sleeves can also be used during exercise and activities outdoors and indoors to provide support and compression for pain relief from arthritis and muscle soreness.

How does the knee support work?
Bearhug use bamboo charcoal in a unique composition within their elbow support. Bamboo charcoal supports have been scientifically proven to increase blood flow through the joint compared to ordinary supports.
This increased blood flow drives oxygenated blood to the elbow joint flushing out any toxins in the elbow and leg which helps your muscle, ligaments, tendons and soft tissue repair quicker while providing pain relief and reducing inflammation and swelling from sports like running
