Non-surgical pain relief for knee osteoarthritis • Custom-fitted support • Stay active longer
Knee osteoarthritis can limit walking, stairs, exercise, work, and day-to-day mobility. At Physimed Health, we offer advanced medical-grade knee bracing designed to reduce joint stress, ease pain, and restore confidence in movement—without medication, injections, or surgery.
Our premier option—the Össur Unloader One® X brace—is one of the most researched and trusted knee braces for osteoarthritis management worldwide.
How the Össur Unloader One® X Works
The Unloader One® X is engineered to “unload” pressure from the damaged side of the knee joint using a precise three-point leverage system. By reducing load through the painful compartment, the brace can:
- Lower strain on worn or arthritic cartilage
- Reduce bone-on-bone compression
- Improve joint alignment and stability
- Decrease inflammation and swelling
- Make walking and weight-bearing more comfortable
This targeted relief allows patients to move more easily and delay further degeneration.
Ideal for Medial or Lateral Knee Osteoarthritis
Whether the degeneration is on the inside (medial) or outside (lateral) of the knee, the Unloader One® X provides redistributive forces that relieve pressure where it hurts most. This makes it beneficial for:
- Knee OA pain and stiffness
- Swelling after activity
- Reduced walking tolerance
- Pain with stairs, bending, or standing
- Returning to exercise after flare-ups
For many patients, it offers a realistic alternative to joint injections or early knee replacement.
Comfortable, Lightweight, and Low-Profile
Unlike bulky braces of the past, the Unloader One® X is:
- Light and breathable
- Slim enough to wear under clothing
- Designed for active lifestyles
- Easy to adjust throughout the day
- Suitable for sport, work, and general mobility
Patients often report immediate comfort and measurable improvements in function.
