🏃‍♀️ You might recognise this runner - 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆, the 5th fastest British marathoner!

Recently, Rose started feeling what she called a little “𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙚 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚.” After an appointment with her clinician, it turned out to be a stress reaction on her kneecap (patella).

To help with her recovery, her clinician recommended completely offloading the knee joint - and the 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 knee brace was the go-to choice. 💪

Spring loaded is currently the UK's 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗳𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 & 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗔 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲.

This innovative brace helps to reduce pressure on the patellofemoral joint, allowing Rose to stay active while healing and keep her strength up during recovery.

Even elite athletes deal with setbacks - what matters is having the right support to get back stronger. 💥

🧎🧎Do you experience pain 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 when climbing stairs, running or jumping?

📍It could be patellar tendinopathy, also known as 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲. This injury can affect your performance and limit your enjoyment of movement.

The 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶 𝗣𝗦𝗦 knee support is a 2-part system:
