When it comes to joint support, particularly for those with knee pain or discomfort, finding the right fit can make all the difference. The gang over here at Old Bones felt it was important to throw out a friendly reminder that you don’t need to wear two of the same knee sleeves if both of your knees “kneed” different support.
Owner Brandon has crafted interchangeable designs that allow you to mix and match different types of sleeves to suit the unique needs of your body. Whether you're hitting the waves (concrete or H20) tackling a workout, going for a walk, RAGING at the vert competition, or managing chronic knee pain because you were too badass and are paying for it now… the ability to customize support for each knee separately is an essential feature that sets us boneheads apart from your average compression sleeve company. Plus we’re way cooler.
The Power of Customization: No Two Knees Are the Same (duh)
If one knee needs more stability and the other requires greater flexibility, you can tailor your support accordingly.
For example, Team Rider Jocie occasionally wears a hinged brace on the knee that she has yet to get checked out by her doc for “doing it’s own thing” after a very evident knee injury at a session a bit ago (don’t yell at her- she has this all planned out). The hinged brace provides extra lateral and medial compression.
Meanwhile, for the other knee, she wears her OG sleeve which offers a comfortable, yet solid level of compression to help with discomfort and inflammation.
This customization means that each knee gets exactly what it needs, so she can keep shredding in denial. (haha)
Three Types of Support: Original, Springed, and Hinged
Old Bones Therapy offers three distinct types of sleeves, each designed to meet different levels of support and stability:
-
OG Sleeve
The original OG sleeve is perfect for those who need general compression and mild support. This sleeve provides consistent, gentle pressure to help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and alleviate minor aches and pains. The breathable material ensures comfort even during long periods of wear, making it ideal for everyday use or light physical activity. These also fit great under ACL rehabilitation braces, and skate pads.

Springed Sleeve
For those who need a little extra support without sacrificing mobility, the Springed sleeve provides additional reinforcement. Integrated springs or supports on both sides of the knee help stabilize the joint, offering more resistance to lateral or side-to-side movements while still allowing for a natural range of motion. This sleeve is perfect for nearly all activities as the spring is embedded into the material.

Hinged Sleeve
The Hinged sleeve is the most advanced option for those requiring more knee support. The built-in hinges provide extra stability, preventing excessive lateral movement but are comfortable and non-restrictive.
The best part about this sleeve? The hinges are removable and can transition into OG’s if you are feeling a little rowdy and want less support that day.

No such thing as one size fits all over here, everybody and every body deserves exactly what they need.
The Benefits of Custom Support
The ability to mix and match different sleeves offers several key advantages:
-
Targeted support: You get the exact support each knee needs, whether for extra stability, flexibility, or compression. This helps prevent overloading one knee with too much or too little support.
-
Enhanced comfort: By selecting the right type of sleeve for each knee and activity, you can maximize comfort and minimize irritation, ensuring that you feel good all day long.
-
Improved performance: With the right level of support, you can move better and more confidently, no matter the activity. Plus our sleeves can lead to improved performance and reduce your time on the couch feeling rough.
-
Convenience: No need to purchase multiple different products for different activities. The interchangeable sleeves give you all the versatility you need in a single system.
