Genumedi® PSS Knee Support

Designed Specifically for the Pain Below the Kneecap — Jumper's Knee, Patellar Tendon Pain & Kneecap Aching

 

Most knee sleeves are built for general knee support. The Genumedi® PSS is built for one specific, frustrating kind of knee pain: the aching, tender spot at the bottom or tip of the kneecap, or just below it on the tendon. If that's where your pain is — and if it gets worse after running, jumping, cycling, or prolonged sitting — this is the sleeve that targets it directly with a two-part pad system designed to reduce tension and pressure at exactly that spot. It includes a physiotherapy wedge and exercise guide, because medi knows that a sleeve works best when it works alongside the right movement.

Product Details

Support Level: Mild-Moderate

Best For:

•       Pain at or just below the kneecap — especially after sport, stairs, or prolonged sitting

•       Jumper's knee (patellar tendon pain from running, jumping, or high-rep training)

•       Osgood-Schlatter tenderness at the tibial tubercle (the bony bump below the kneecap)

•       Kneecap tracking pain that gets worse going downstairs or squatting

•       Active adults and recreational athletes who want targeted kneecap pain relief without a bulky brace

Why the Genumedi® PSS Knee Support Works

A Two-Part Pad System Built Exactly for Kneecap Tendon Pain

Two separate silicone pads — one at the tip of the kneecap, one at the bony bump just below it on the shin — apply precisely placed pressure to the spots where patellar tendon pain originates. This isn't a generic pressure pad. It's a purpose-designed system that reduces the tension and micro-trauma at the insertion points where this type of knee pain lives. You'll feel the difference as soon as you start moving.

An Adjustable Strap That Doesn't Cut into Your Calf

The strap sits asymmetrically — slightly lower at the back — so it applies the right pressure at the front of the knee without digging into the soft tissue at the back. Individually adjustable, so you dial in the amount of support that feels right for you. Most people find a little pressure goes a long way for this type of pain.

Silicone Dots That Help Wake Up the Muscles Around the Knee

The knit fabric is embedded with fine silicone dots that create a gentle sensory input against the skin during movement. That input prompts the quadriceps muscles — particularly the inner quad — to engage a little more actively, which takes some of the load off the tendon and kneecap. It's a subtle thing but it contributes to why this type of support works better than simple compression alone.

 Includes a Physiotherapy Wedge and Exercise Guide

Research consistently shows that specific exercises — particularly single-leg heel drops on a decline — are among the most effective long-term treatments for patellar tendon pain. medi includes a wedge and exercise instructions with every Genumedi PSS, because the sleeve and the exercises together work better than either alone.

Built for Your Active Life

Ideal activities while wearing:

•       Running and return to running after a patellar tendon flare

•       Cycling — stationary and road, where repetitive knee flexion loads the patellar tendon

•       Hiking and stair climbing where downhill loads are highest

•       Gym training — squats, lunges, leg press, and any lower-body strength work

•       Recreational sport where kneecap or tendon pain has been limiting your participation

 

For long-term patellar tendon pain, the exercises that come with this brace matter — don't skip them. The brace manages symptoms; the exercises address the underlying cause.

Is the Genumedi® PSS Knee Support Right for You?

This might be the right support for you if:

•       The pain in your knee is specifically at the tip of the kneecap or just below it on the tendon

•       Your knee pain is worse after running, jumping, cycling, or going downstairs

•       You've been told you have jumper's knee, patellar tendonitis, or Osgood-Schlatter tenderness

•       You want a targeted brace that specifically addresses kneecap tendon pain rather than general knee compression
