Knee injury-knee pain with 3M FUTURO™ (Product Review)

By far the most common and therefore predominant ‘injury’ we see in daily life is knee injury, Knee joint is most important and biggest joint of your body and most common joint to be injured. Most people have had experienced knee problem or knee pain at some point in their lives especially most sportsmen. Your Knee is complex joint made-up of important structures (e.g. bone, ligament, tendon and cartilage), making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries.Here is common cause of knee injury and how to manage it.

Causes of knee Injury:

  • External forces like twisting and bending the knees, which can cause muscle strain, tendinitis, and Ligament, tear, cause knee injuries.
  • Injuries most often occurs during high impact sports and exercise e.g. Running, basketball, football, cycling, climbing can increase risk of knee injury.
  • Improper training and overtraining for sports can also cause knee injuries.
  • Medical conditions like arthritis, degenerative joint disease, bursitis and osteoporosis.
  • Trauma or major vehicle accidents leads to fracture and disrupt multiple part of knee anatomy.
  • Overweight and obesity can leads to knee injuries as excess weight put more stress on knee joints causing discomfort.

Some experience mild knee pain while working out or while running and for some knee pain is so sever that it affects their daily activities, in both the case you shouldn’t ignore it. Most of the time our body movements do not cause problems, but Sometime you know the drill, even if you are injured you keep pushing and keep running and keep playing and ignore the minor problem until it becomes major and severe.

If your knee pain is due to underlying medical condition like arthritis, osteoporosis or joint disease you have to consult your physician and get it diagnose, But if your super active life style and improper training and other sports are causing the knee trouble, you have to learn to manage joint pain rather than ignoring it for an active and pain-free lifestyle!

How to manage and treat knee injury: Treatment of knee pain and injury totally depends on cause of injury and extent of injury.

  • Over the counter anti-Inflammatory and painkiller may help in treating pain and swelling e.g. Ibuprofen, Advil and Motrin.
  • The famous and classical treatment for Simple knee strain and injuries are treated by “ RICE Therapy” (Rest, Ice, Compress and Elevation)
  1. REST_ Take time off from sports, exercise and your daily activities and rest your knee and let it heel.
  2. ICE_ Apply ice or cold pack right away to prevent or minimize swelling.
  3. Compression_ wrap the injured area with 3M FUTURO™ Elastic bandage, knee braces or knee support system, it will help in reduce swelling and discomfort.
  4. ELEVATION_ Elevate the injured or sore area on pillows while applying ice and anytime you are sitting or lying down. Try to keep the area at or above the level of your heart to help minimise swelling.
  • Knee splinting and immobilization keeps the knee from moving and decrease the chances of further injury. Use 3M FUTURO™ knee stabilizer, knee support while playing, Gyming or other sport activities.
  • Extensive injuries involving torn ligament, dislocation and fracture will require medical treatment from orthopedic surgeon.

Recently I came across this amazing product from 3M FUTURO™ brands, which is the leading braces and supports brand in the U.S. with all their products developed by a distinguished panel of experts, physicians, medical specialists and engineers. 3M FUTURO™ Hit UAE market recently, their knee braces, wraps and supports provide essential compression and relief to your knee joint while being active. With 3M FUTURO™ you can energetically run, race up and down on stairs or perform your favourite high impact sports without worrying about your knees.

IMG_1357NOTE** Not all knee compression and knee support products are made equal, many will restrict your joint movement when playing or running. While 3M FUTURO™ knee support is made up of highest quality compression material with innovative moisture releasing technology (A unique combination of neoprene and polartec power stretch-Rx materials).

“3M FUTURO™knee support not only provide support to stiff, weak or injured knees but it also keeps your knee joint warm and limber while releasing excess heat and moisture”

With so many products available in market with very little information and misinformation about knee pain and injury, it’s difficult to weed through and figure out what is nonsense, and what is good for you.

It provide full support and compression when it’s needed, not to mention the added benefits of enhanced performance and endurance with its new “custom dial knee strap” which deliver targeted pressure on affected area and knee support with innovative moisture control technology.

This product will set you right out and about.
