By Sport
Find out how a Bearhug Knee Support can help you perform better, recover faster and play for longer.
Cycling
Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) and patellofemoral syndrome are common pain points for cyclists, affecting their range of motion and causing stiffness. The medical-grade zonal support our knee supports provide helps keep the joints and tendons loose, reducing pain and inflammation.
Fitness and the gym
Tendonitis in the knees is a common complaint for gymgoers. Causing stiffness and reduced motion, you can avoid this with our knee supports that help flush out toxins for recovery by boosting your circulation.
Football
ACL injuries, meniscus tears, and patellar tendonitis are common in football due to its quick pace and sudden direction changes. Wearing our knee supports provide medical-grade zonal support to the area, increases blood flow to lower inflammation, and helps you recover faster.
Martial arts and combat sports
With so much twisting in martial arts, knee sprains and meniscus tears are common. Give your knees added protection with our knee supports that can be worn during and after action.
Running
From runner’s knee and patellar tendonitis to iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), running puts your knees at risk of many injuries. Our knee supports give your knees zonal support, increasing blood flow to help reduce pain and inflammation for better recovery.
Racquet sports
As a racquet sports player, you’ll know that meniscus tears and patellar tendinitis can happen. Our knee supports prevent your knees from becoming strained, help you cope with lateral movements, and enhance your recovery.
Rugby
Knee injuries make up almost 60% of all reported rugby injuries, so safeguard your knees from impact and running injuries like MCLs with our knee supports. They protect the knee joint to improve your performance and blood flow.
Snowsports
Your knees bear the brunt when skiing and snowboarding, so protecting against ACL and MCL injuries should be a priority, and you can do that with our knee supports. They also help kickstart your recovery off the slopes with their blood-flow-boosting zonal support.
Walking and hiking
Our knee supports help reduce inflammation by increasing blood flow and providing zonal support to the knee, reducing the risk of ligament and meniscus damage.

When can I use the Bearhug Knee Support
The knee joint is arguably the most important for lower limb and leg movement, which is why knee joints often suffer most injuries and arthritis and why knee pain is a reoccurring issue for many. Without zonal support, aches and pains can often inhibit movement, exercise 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. Some sports & activities that knee supports can be useful for:
- Running
- Walking
- Padel
- Weightlifting
- Gym Work
- Football
- Triathlon & many more sports!
Why are the sleeves made from bamboo?
We chose bamboo for our knee supports so we can ensure they are made from a renewable resource. Bamboo has natural antifungal and anti-bacterial properties while also being a high-absorbing material. This material removes moisture from the skin, enhancing the level of comfort while also removing any odours, reducing the need to wash it as frequently. It is generally kind to skin, so you shouldn’t get irritated when wearing our knee supports.
Will a knee support help with my arthritis?
Yes, a knee support will 100% help – providing zonal support and warmth to reduce pain and swelling hugely.
Plus, unlike a rigid knee brace, our bamboo technology flexes to maintain stability when required, whilst providing ultimate comfort.
Will it slip or roll down during activity?
Our supports are 100% secure, crafted with an ergonomic fit and non-slip design that ensures they stay in place during sport, workouts or day to day use.
If yours doesn’t, you can swap it for a smaller size within the first 30 days free of charge (Ts & Cs apply).
