The secret to happier joints & less aches!

We find out more about joint supports and compression stockings for swollen legs – and what might help with different muscle pain and aches.

Suffering from knee pain, swollen legs or nagging body aches?

Whether it’s from chasing after little ones, strenuous workouts at the gym or just general wear and tear that comes with age, our bodies sometimes just need a bit of extra support.

That’s where B:joynz comes in. This new range of German-made orthopaedic and compression joint supports is the sister brand of Bauerfeind, known for its medical-grade compression products. Ranging from compression stockings for swollen legs to supports for knees, ankles, elbows, wrists and back, B:joynz’s products are designed to help stabilise and relieve pressure on your muscles and joints.

What are joint supports and how do they work?

Joint supports are more than simple braces. According to the team at B:joynz, “They are medical aids that can relieve and prevent pain in muscles, tendons and joints, due to overuse, for example. They’re applied externally and are better tolerated as a result.”

The clever compression knit wraps around your body elastically, tightly but not uncomfortably. “When you move, your muscles alternately tense and relax, creating a massage effect that promotes circulation and healing in areas subject to excessive strain.”

The products also come with integrated silicone pads thermal-sealed under the cover so there is no irritation to the skin. “The pads help reduce pressure on sensitive joints while also enhancing the massaging effect of the knit fabric,” adds the team.

Compression stockings for swollen legs

And if you find yourself dealing with tired and heavy legs, swelling or vein issues, the brand’s compression stockings could be a game changer. “They’re made of elastic materials and provide a precisely defined level of compression,” explains the team. “Compression supports the function of your veins. The defined pressure gradient helps transport blood back to the heart against gravity – this prevents blood from pooling in your legs, which can cause painful swollen legs.”

These aren’t just for long-haul flights, either. The team recommends wearing them while you’re doing your workouts or moving around. “Compression stockings are particularly effective during movement. That’s why you should try to stay as active as possible when you’re wearing them. This will be beneficial for you and your legs.”
