How to put on a knee patella strap or brace for sport

David Wilson, Partner myPhysioSA Physiotherapist, shows how to fit a patella knee brace for sport.

Kneecap (patella) pain is very common in children. Once it has been correctly assessed by a Physiotherapist, it may be suggested that they wear a patella brace for sport, along with starting on the best strength exercise program.

There are many types and brands of patella straps. It is a matter of trying one on, then squating or jumping and then seeing which one is the most effective for reducing your pain.

Remember that wearing a brace or strap is only a temporary help, it doesnt fix your problem, it just dulls the pain whilst you are using it! A proper diagnosis and then recommended exercise rehab plan is really what you need! This is what myPhysioSA Physios do best.
