Questions, answered.
Will it help my knee on stairs?
Velasay K1 gives compression, a cushioned ring around the kneecap and soft side support, which many people find makes stairs feel steadier. It is a support brace, not a treatment, so check with your doctor for any injury.
Can I wear it with stiff or achy knees?
Start with a light setting on the dial and tighten only as much as feels comfortable.
Is it hard to put on?
No. Slip it up like a sleeve, line the ring up with your kneecap, then twist the dial. Pull the dial up to release it.
Left or right, how do I choose?
Choose the knee that hurts. The dial sits on the outside of your leg. For both knees, add one of each side to your cart and the pair discount applies.
