Pain can be difficult to treat or manage. The MotionCARE products are designed to help decrease pain, balance alignment, increase strength, and provide stability. Typically worn during activity, braces can provide compression, stability, joint alignment, and pain relief. Cold therapy is typically used after exercise and helps control swelling and pain. Electrical stimulation devices of TENS assist with all-day pain relief without the side effects of oral pain relief medications. All of the products are designed to be used individually, but provide pain relief in different ways. The MotionCARE Pain Relief Kit provides round the clock options to help manage pain before, during, and after activity.

BRACE YOURSELF FOR GREAT RUN OR WALK
WOW, what a knee brace, I have a 90% ACL tear, 50% of my medial meniscus removed, 60% posterior and 40% anterior horn removed on my right knee. I have run like this for over a decade without any support. Running and walking in hills/trails for about 8 miles at a time. This brace stabilized my knee so my stride had a correct front to back stride, instead of a wobble, took a lot more of the shock from running than I thought possible. On the very first run, my 8 mile time was reduced by 6 minutes (effortlessly), due to my increased stride. Recovery time after runs is short and I have no longer have knee or joint pain at all, at any time. This knee brace gave me my best running experience in over a decade. Thanks a bunch guys for making this product.
Primera TENS/NMES
Primera TENS/NMES Devices offers non-invasive temporary knee pain relief, so you can continue your day-to-day activities. How it works: Tiny electronic pulses are delivered through the surface of the skin to the nerve strands. The stimulating pulses prevent signals of pain from being delivered to the brain. TENS machines also help the body produce high levels of endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain fighting mechanism.
CONVENIENT TO USE AND PROVIDES MUCH RELIEF
Much more convenient to use since it is an at home unit. Very easy to use, it works well and it is a good value for the price.
Chattanooga ColPac Blue Vinyl Standard
Easy to use, the standard sized reusable Chattanooga ColPac ice pack delivers cold therapy that lasts up to 30 minutes. The 11” x 14” standard size molds to the knee with ease, which helps reduce swelling and inflammation when needed most. Made with durable blue vinyl, the ColPac is perfect to re-use for all of your cold therapy needs.
MY FAVORITE ICE PACK
I have used many different reusable ice packs in my life time and this ColPac is the best. First off, the material is great, it is slightly thicker than your standard ice pack which feels a lot more durable. The cold pack is filled with gel and is moldable which helps you completely cover the area you are trying to ice.
I use this ice pack for everything! I ice my knees after a run or playing basketball. My right ankle tends to get sore from an old injury, so I use this Colpac anytime I feel any soreness. I suffer from carpal tunnel and it helps soothe the pain almost instantly. I've also used it when I don't feel well and have a headache or a fever. It feels great and cools you down quickly. I love this ice pack and love that they have different sizes.
