HOW TO PUT ON YOUR KNEE COMPRESSION SLEEVES

Introduction Your new knee sleeves are a technical garment and may require to practice to put them on, if they feel tight, this is exactly as expected as they are specifically designed to offer a graduated compression to support the knee. You may find putting on the sleeves a little tricky to start with, however with a few uses the majority of our customers find the process very easy. To help you get started we will explain a couple of methods of putting on the knee sleeves.

Standard Method This method replicates how you would put on a sock, taking the widest end of the sleeve place your foot through the sleeve and then gently work the sleeve up into the correct position. Be careful not to pull just from the top of the sleeve, but to gently work the sleeve into position bit by bit. 1

Inside Out Method For this method turn your sleeve inside out, taking the narrowest end of the sleeve gently put your foot through the sleeve and gently work it to halfway up your shin below the knee. Then taking the widest part of the sleeve (which is currently near your foot), pull it over the narrow part and over your knee (effectively putting the sleeve the right way round) and adjust into the correct position. 1
