HOW KINETEXX® WORKS
Why We Are Different
Traditional Knee Supports
Most current knee support products on the market primarily focus on supporting, bracing, and stabilising the joint to manage and maintain specific knee issues.
Fundamental Difference
The Kinetexx® Knee Exerciser offers a unique approach that goes beyond merely maintaining knee problems. Instead, it focuses on resistance training to build and strengthen the knee. By targeting the muscles, tendons, and ligaments within and around the joint, it accelerates recovery, aiming to eliminate the need for ongoing support or bracing.
Unlike traditional knee supports that simply stabilise, the Kinetexx® concept is designed to actively “fix” the problem.
The Kinetexx® Knee Exerciser
The Kinetexx Knee Exerciser is a groundbreaking innovation in wearable exercise technology, developed for physiotherapy, general fitness, and enhancing sports performance. This is no ordinary knee support; it is designed to do much more.
The Kinetexx® Concept
The Kinetexx® Knee Exerciser is uniquely engineered with spring resistance elements embedded within the material on both sides of the knee. The sleeve is crafted from thermo-regulating yarn, ensuring consistent temperature control while effectively wicking away perspiration.
The tubular design of the sleeve provides high compression support around the knee, reducing the build-up of lactic acid, which can help prolong activity and accelerate recovery.
At the heart of the Kinetexx Knee Exerciser are the Kinetexx® Resistance Springs, made from memory-retentive, high-performance polymer. These springs are specially designed to generate resistance against any movement of the joint, thereby activating the muscles in the quads, hamstrings, and calves, creating an inbuilt exercise mechanism.
Customisable Resistance
Our Kinetexx® Resistance Springs come in three calibrated resistance levels:
- White 3.5Kg – Ideal for recovery, arthritic and osteoarthritic conditions, orthopaedic rehabilitation, and light exercise.
- Yellow 5.0Kg – Suited for moderate exercise, general fitness, and light sports activities.
- Black 7.5Kg – Designed for intense fitness programmes, heavy gym workouts, and sports performance.
University Tested
The Kinetexx® Knee Exerciser has undergone rigorous testing at various stages of is development at the University of Newcastle in the UK.
Results demonstrated that the Kinetexx Knee Exerciser increases muscle activation around the knee joint by up to 30 percent while walking and 400 percent while running, highlighting the effectiveness of the resistance elements in applying load to either side of the knee.
High-Performance Tech
The Kinetexx® Knee Exerciser incorporates three advanced technologies:
Bio-Mechanical Resistance Technology: High-performance polymer resistance springs are strategically placed on either side of the knee joint, working naturally against physical movement to strengthen adjacent muscle groups.
Kinetic Compression: Unlike conventional compression garments, the Kinetexx® Knee Exerciser limits muscle overstretching while allowing full range of movement.
The ultra-high compression is up to 10 percent higher than standard medical compression supports, stimulating blood flow, dispersing lymphatic fluids, and reducing lactic acid build-up. This contributes to sustained exercise and rapid recovery after training or workouts.
Performance Fibre Technology: Utilising INVISTA COOLMAX® ALL SEASON, this technology optimises the body’s natural thermal capabilities. Smart fibre cross-sections adapt to the wearer’s condition, balancing temperature changes and conserving energy levels. The fabric keeps you cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cold, ensuring consistent thermal control.
