Sports knee supports for stabilising the knee, Hlamidis Orthopaedic Center, Thessaloniki

Exercise and good physical fitness are a foundation of health. But the body is often put under strain, especially when training sessions are long or when you play sport professionally. Sports supports can help protect your joints and support recovery after an injury. At Hlamidis Orthopaedic Center, Egnatia 101 in Thessaloniki, you will find them ready-made or custom-made, along with advice on choosing and fitting them correctly.

What you will find in store

Knee supports

Knee supports stabilise the knee during sport and in everyday life. Your doctor or physiotherapist may recommend a knee support, for example, after a meniscus injury or for chondromalacia patellae. There are different types, from simple elastic sleeves to knee supports with side stays; we will help you choose according to the recommendation you have been given.

Wrist supports

Wrist supports stabilise the wrist in sports that make heavy use of the hands and during recovery from sprains or overuse.

There are simple elastic wrist supports, as well as reinforced wrist supports for more stabilisation. We will show you the differences and help you choose according to the recommendation you have been given.

Other supports

We stock the full range of sports and orthopaedic supports, ready-made and custom-made. If you are looking for something specific, just ask us.

When sports supports are used

Prevention: for extra support for joints that take a lot of strain in training.
Recovery: after an injury or once a cast has been removed, for a smoother transition back to full mobility.
Return to sport: when your doctor or physiotherapist allows you to start again, with support for the injured area.

Ready-made or custom-made?

For most needs, a ready-made support in the right size is enough. But when the shape of the limb or the condition calls for something more specialised, our certified prosthetist-orthotists can make a custom solution, following your doctor's instructions. If you are not sure what you need, talk to your doctor or physiotherapist first; with their recommendation, we will find the right item and size.

Why the right fit matters

A support that is not the right size can slip, squeeze or fail to support you properly. Our staff take measurements and check the fit, so that what you wear is comfortable and does its job. When a support is related to an injury, always follow your doctor's instructions.

Custom solutions for athletes

Protective nose masks: made from carbon or by 3D printing, for returning to football or basketball after a fracture. See our protective masks.
Sports insoles: 8Sole insoles come in a dedicated sport version, with a dynamic design for control and stability.
Gait analysis for runners: with a foot scan on a treadmill, we see how you load your feet when you walk or run.
Custom braces: when you need something more specialised than a ready-made support, see our upper and lower limb orthoses.

Tips for use

Wear the support as your doctor or physiotherapist has advised, for no more and no fewer hours.
If you feel numbness or pain, or notice redness, take it off and come in so we can check the fit.
Follow the manufacturer's washing instructions so it keeps its elasticity.
When an elastic support loosens and no longer supports you as before, it is time to replace it.

Who are they for?

Sports supports are used by runners, footballers, basketball players and athletes of every level, as well as by people returning to exercise after an injury or who strain their wrists at work. Since 1952 we have been helping people of all ages move with more confidence.

Where can I buy a knee support in Thessaloniki?

At our premises, Hlamidis Orthopaedic Center, Egnatia 101. We will help you choose the right type and size according to your doctor's or physiotherapist's recommendation. If the knee support is related to an injury, please bring the recommendation with you. Call us on +30 2310 282 894.

Which knee support is best for a meniscus injury or chondromalacia?

It depends on the diagnosis and the stage of recovery, so the choice is made by your doctor or physiotherapist. We will show you the types available and check that the knee support is the right size and fits comfortably.

How do I choose the right size of support?

The size comes from measurements of the limb, not from your clothing size. In store we take measurements and you try the support on, so that it does not slip or squeeze. A support in the wrong size will not stabilise properly, while one that is too tight can be uncomfortable.

Do you make custom sports supports?

Yes. As well as ready-made items, we make custom braces, protective face masks and 8Sole sports insoles when a more specialised solution is needed. The choice is always based on your needs and your doctor's recommendation. To book an appointment, call +30 2310 282 894.
