Push Sports Braces - push your limits not your body

PSB has launched 6 different sport braces for active sports enthusiasts: an ankle brace, a knee brace, a patella brace, an arm brace, wrist brace and a thumb brace. Each one is unique because they have all been developed in close co-operation with leading sport specialists, medical practitioners and physiotherapists.

The result: maximum support and protection, complete freedom of movement and extreme wear comfort. In addition PSB sport braces are manufactured from Tactel® Aquator, a lightweight material with moisture wicking properties.

The PSB Ankle brace provides help in supporting unstable ankles and aids recovery following severe sprains. Push sport Ankle Brace

The PSB Ankle brace provides help in supporting unstable ankles and aids recovery following severe sprains. The brace can also be used to prevent sprains. These injuries often occur in sports that involve a great deal of jumping (volley ball, basket ball) or twisting and turning (football, hockey, hand ball, tennis). The brace is recommended for use during sporting activities.

The PSB Ankle brace is unique in that it does not inhibit your normal movements despite providing optimal support for the ankle joint. In addition the designers have taken pains to create a brace with the minimum of volume. The Ankle brace fits perfectly into trainers (the use of sports shoes is vital for the functioning of the brace) and causes no problems with shin pads. Another advantage is that the carefully designed tape - and – splint configuration immediately blocks the movement of the ankle joint as soon as there is any danger of it turning too far inwards, which is when most ankle traumas arise. The pale blue power net, which applies the pressure around the ankle, can be adjusted to suit your personal requirements.

The PSB Ankle brace is available in the sizes S, M, L and XL and comes in a right and left ankle version. To determine the correct size you need to measure the widest circumference of the ankle around the back of the heel.

A PSB Arm brace is used to alleviate the effects of strain on the lower arm muscles, which can lead to irritation of the points where these muscles are attached to the bone. This is commonly known as a tennis or golf arm.

The PSB Arm brace applies pressure to the lower arm muscles, relieving tension on the attachments of the muscles to the elbow joint . This attachment is precisely where the pain is felt by those suffering from a tennis or golf arm.

The PSB knee brace can be used to combat a feeling of instability in the knee joint, for those returning to sporting activity following a meniscus injury and for problems around the patella.Push sport Knee Brace

The PSB knee brace can be used to combat a feeling of instability in the knee joint, for those returning to sporting activity following a meniscus injury and for problems around the patella.

The PSB Knee brace applies pressure around the knee joint, making it feel more stable. The patella itself is supported by a pressure pad that any additional problems with the patella are alleviated. It is easy to adjust the pressure to your personal needs by means of the pale blue power net. The sport brace in no way inhibits the bending action. The tape around the calf and the silicone strips on the inside keep the brace firmly in place and prevent it from slipping down. The use of special Tactel® equator material ensures that perspiration is wicked away from the skin and its ability to breathe means that the sport brace always feels comfortable.

The PSB Knee brace is available in sizes S, M, L and XL. To determine the correct size you need to measure the circumference of the lower leg, immediately under the knee.

A patella brace is ideal for alleviating the effects of problems caused by strain around the patella. Push sport Patella Knee Brace

A patella brace is ideal for alleviating the effects of problems caused by strain around the patella. This applies especially in sports that involve a lot of running (runners knee) and/or jumping (jumpers knee).

The pad in the patella brace applies pressure to the knee tendon and the lower edge of the patella. This alleviates the load applied to the tendon and reduces pain. The Patella brace is easily fitted around the lower leg.

The PSB Patella brace is available in one size that fits all.

In the case of a skiers thumb we see residual instability (over extension) as the result of injury to the inner side of the thumb joint.Push sport Thumb Brace

In the case of a skiers thumb we see residual instability (over extension) as the result of injury to the inner side of the thumb joint. The brace has been specifically developed to support this joint at the base of the thumb (also called MCP I).

The thumb brace provides support for the thumb when the thumb joint has become unstable as a consequence of a sprain to the joint ligaments. The tapes in the brace compensate for the over extension caused by the damaged ligament in the joint. The brace provides protection for the joint, including protection from jarring. The undamaged parts of the thumb joint are left free and the tapes can be adjusted to allow the thumb to function normally. The brace leaves the wrist completely free and does not inhibit its movement The PSB thumb brace is extremely comfortable and is easy to apply unaided, making it the ideal brace for sporting activities.

The PSB Thumb brace comes in a right and left thumb version and is available in the sizes S, M and L. To determine the size you need you should measure around the wrist, between your hand and the wrist bones.
