Herzog PRO Knee Support
Research shows that most complaints arise in the knee during exercise. The Herzog Pro Compression Knee Support is a compression bandage with a silicone ring around the kneecap. Flexible reinforcements have been applied to the inside and outside of the knee, which stabilizes and supports the lateral movements of the knee during exercise.
