Top 3 Ways to Reduce Knee Pain 👇

1. Strengthen the muscles around your knee
Focus on quads, hamstrings, and glutes to take pressure off the joint and improve stability.

2. Improve mobility + flexibility
Tight hips and calves = extra stress on your knees. Daily stretching can instantly reduce strain.

3. Reduce joint load during movement
If you’re still feeling pain, your knee may need support. Tools like the Ascender Knee Brace help unload pressure and keep you moving pain-free.

5 Reasons People Are Switching to the Ascender Knee Brace

Knee osteoarthritis doesn’t just affect your joints. It affects how you move, train, and live day to day. If pain is holding you back, there are better ways to stay active without giving things up.

1. Removes pressure from your knee (up to 40 lbs)

The Ascender uses a dynamic unloading system designed to take weight off the knee joint, helping reduce pain during movement and activity.

2. Adjustable dial for real-time control

Easily increase or decrease support based on what you’re doing. Walking, training, or resting, you stay in control. One press releases the tension instantly.

3. Built for more than standard knee braces

Unlike traditional braces that only target one side of the knee, the Ascender is engineered to support the patellofemoral joint and multicompartment osteoarthritis, helping address pain more completely.

4. Custom fit option using 3D scan technology

Using just an iPhone scan, a custom brace can be created and 3D printed to match your exact leg shape for a more precise, performance-driven fit.

5. Often covered by insurance

Many patients receive the Ascender through a prescription, making it eligible for insurance coverage depending on your plan and diagnosis.

If knee pain, arthritis, or instability is limiting you, it doesn’t have to stay that way.

CEO and Founder of Icarus Medical responds to Instagram comments about the Ascender knee brace.

The Ascender Knee Brace is designed for people dealing with knee pain, knee osteoarthritis, and joint instability who want to stay active without constant discomfort. Using an adjustable unloading system, the brace can help reduce up to 40 lbs of pressure from the knee joint, helping take stress off the areas that cause pain during movement.

With a simple dial, users can increase or decrease unloading tension in real time depending on their activity, whether that’s walking, training, or getting through a long day on their feet. The system is built to provide both support and mobility, so you’re not stuck in a bulky, restrictive brace.

5 Reasons People Choose the Ascender Knee Brace.

1. Up to 40 lbs of knee joint unloading

The Ascender uses an adjustable tension system
designed to unload up to 40 lbs of pressure from the
knee joint, which can help reduce discomfort during
movement and activity.

2. Patient-controlled dial system

The integrated dial allows you to easily increase or
decrease the unloading force depending on your
activity level. With the press of a button, the tension
can be released instantly.

3. Designed to unload the patellofemoral joint and
multicompartment OA

Many knee braces are built to address only medial or
lateral compartment osteoarthritis. The Ascender is
engineered to actively unload the patellofemoral joint
as well as multicompartment knee OA, helping reduce
pressure in areas traditional braces may not support.

4. Custom fit option available

A custom Ascender can be created using a 3D scan of
your leg taken with an iPhone. The brace is then 3D
printed to match your anatomy and alignment for a
more personalized fit and improved performance.

5. Covered by most insurance plans

Because the Ascender is a medical device, many
patients receive the brace through their physician with
a prescription and use their health insurance.
Coverage may vary depending on your plan, location,
and diagnosis.

If you’re living with knee pain and looking for ways to
stay active, send us a DM or visit the link in our bio to
