2. Can Prevent Further Injuries
One of the other reasons why it’s vital to keep a knee injury as still as possible is the fact that you have to prevent any chance of further injuring the affected body part. This can be disastrous for any injury that’s currently in the process of healing, and other times it can even be the difference between a strain that could have healed in a few days and a serious injury that can take several weeks or months to get any better.
Bracing a knee is one of the best ways in which you can prevent further injury; the brace does this by keeping the knee as still as possible without completely restricting movement – and this means that a lot of the stress is taken off the knee during this process.
If you do happen to notice an injury getting any worse or taking longer to heal than you initially thought it would, make another appointment with your doctor.
