WHY SHOULD YOU WEAR KNEEPADS AT WORK?

Some industries have jobs that are so physically demanding that they create a high risk of physical damage. For example, if you typically work with your knees for long periods of time, you could damage them. It's best if you realize that treatment for your knees, such as corrective surgery, can cost thousands of pounds.

WHY WEAR KNEE PADS?

According to statistics, 60% of knee injuries are caused by wear and tear on the knee joint. One of the most effective ways to prevent this is to use knee pads. Here are some of the benefits of knee pads：

Protection-While the patella protects your knee, the patella itself is susceptible to fractures. A good knee pad can help minimize the impact on your knee and prevent patella fractures. Knee pads can also protect you from being penetrated by sharp objects such as nails. Some knee pads are also designed to minimize the impact of hard surfaces that can severely damage your knee over time.  

Money saving-Knee pads can help you save a lot of money in the long run. The amount of money you spend on knee pads is very little compared to the cost of treatment when you have a knee injury.  

Confidence at work-When you are wearing knee pads, you don't have to worry about damaging your knees when you have to kneel on hard surfaces for long periods of time. This helps improve your efficiency.  

Knee pads are versatile-You don't have to wear knee pads only at work. You can also use them in a variety of contact sports, such as soccer and basketball, which can cause heavy stress on your knees. These knee pads can also help minimize injuries from hard objects shot into them during sports.

Another huge advantage of wearing knee pads is that they can protect you from osteoarthritis.

HOW CAN YOU GET OSTEOARTHRITIS?

Osteoarthritis, often referred to as wear and tear arthritis, involves the destruction of cartilage in the joints. Although it can affect any joint in the body, it primarily affects the weight-bearing joints of the spine, hips and knees.

This condition causes the cartilage in the joints to become stiff. As a result, the cartilage becomes less flexible and more susceptible to damage. Over time, the cartilage may wear down and lose its ability to absorb shocks. This can lead to stretching of tendons and ligaments, which can be very painful.

If this condition is left unchecked, bones can begin to rub against each other. In fact, injured joints are more susceptible to osteoarthritis, and engaging in activities that put your joints in jeopardy can raise your risk.  

Therefore, it is best to use protective equipment such as knee pads when engaging in activities such as plumbing, tiling, flooring installation, landscaping, roofing, contact sports, etc.  

HOW CAN KNEE PADS HELP YOU?

Knee pads are designed to protect the knee from impact and to provide cushioning when kneeling. A good knee pad should be firmly fixed in position to ensure effective protection for the knee.
