Tourmaline is a mineral with unique properties. Among many peoples, tourmaline stone is famous as a nugget of natural energy and a solar mineral. It appears under the influence of very high temperatures in geysers, volcanoes and other natural sources. It is used in the treatment of various diseases. So, today the tourmaline magnetic knee brace is becoming more and more popular, which will be discussed in this article.
Composition of tourmaline
It consists of aluminosilicates containing boron. The mineral includes 26 elements of the famous periodic table, including magnesium, manganese, silicon, iron, fluorine, iodine, potassium, calcium, lithium, sodium, oxygen, aluminum, boron, etc. The name of the stone comes from “Tura Mali” - in translated from Sinhala it means “stone with different colors”. Tourmaline, depending on the composition of the stone, can be: green, rose-red, yellow, colorless, brown, brown, violet-red, black, polychrome and bright green. According to other sources, the name of the mineral comes from “Tumuli” - “attracting dust or ash.”
Properties of tourmaline
This is a mineral with unusual properties. Its crystals have negative and positive poles, and this causes a constant microcurrent of 0.06 mA on the surface of the mineral. In addition, it is a source of stable infrared rays reaching a length of 15 micrometers. They can penetrate the tissues of the human body and warm it up. It is the only mineral capable of producing negative ions. These piezoelectric properties made it possible to use the stone in radio engineering and medical devices. In addition, it polarizes light.
Healing properties
Until now, the medicinal properties of tourmaline have not been fully studied, although its use for health purposes began in ancient times. Microcurrents appearing on the surface of the mineral transform the composition of the air, and also release negative ions that have a beneficial effect on human health - strengthen the immune system, improve metabolism, restore cell metabolism, and supply the body with natural energy. Therefore, various healing devices are made from it, for example, tourmaline knee pads (instructions for use are included with each package). The microcurrent strength of 0.06 mA completely coincides with the microcurrents of the human body, which only has a positive effect on his health.
Variety of materials
The base of knee pads can be either synthetic (neoprene, polyester, elastane, spandex, nylon) or natural (cotton, wool). On sale you can find products from:
Cotton. The advantage is the ability to absorb moisture and the ability of the skin to breathe when wearing the product. This knee pad does not cause allergic reactions, provided that the composition does not contain synthetic fibers. The disadvantage of a cotton product is its fragility. Neoprotena. The advantage is good fixation, wear resistance, and ease of cleaning. The disadvantage of this model is the lack of skin breathing and poor moisture permeability, which can provoke an allergic reaction. Elastane. Fairly pliable material. Quickly takes the desired shape, firmly holds the joint, and allows air to pass through. A knee pad made with cotton and elastane threads gives an excellent effect. Spandex. The advantage is the ability to disguise it under clothing. The product is breathable and comfortable to use
The material is usually combined with other components, so when choosing, you need to pay attention to all the components. Polyester and nylon. This knee pad is quite durable and wear-resistant, has elasticity, and fits well to the body. Wool
The material is able to absorb moisture well, has a warming effect, relieves inflammation and improves blood circulation. The disadvantage is the possibility of allergies.
Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. To choose the right product, you need to consult a specialist.
Tourmaline warms
It is a natural source of infrared rays reaching a length of 15 micrometers. They, like an infrared heater, are able to penetrate deeply into the tissues of the body and warm them up. This natural heat makes it possible to warm up not the skin, but blood vessels, muscles, capillaries, internal organs, and joints. Tourmaline knee pads were created for them, instructions for use of which are discussed in this article below. Infrared radiation warms up due to its effect on all cells of the body. Capillary vessels expand due to resonance, blood supply improves, cells are supplied with nutrients and oxygen, and this causes the effect of strengthening immunity and regeneration.
The secret of the right purchase
When making a choice, it is important to focus on the doctor’s recommendations and the appropriate size
In addition, you should pay attention to:
- Hypoallergenic material (if you are prone to allergies).
- Wear resistance of the product. Bandages made from natural wool are not durable.
- Contraindications for each type.
- Material. Products can be made from either natural or synthetic raw materials.
- Internal seams. They should be smooth and not cause discomfort.
- Comfortable to wear. Some products allow you to adjust the tension level, which makes it possible to loosen and tighten the tapes with or without inflammation.
- Hardness level. Soft ones are used in the initial stages of the disease, they are also used as sports. Medium ones help to alleviate the condition with severe pain, hard ones are indicated for severe illness, and warming ones are suitable for chronic diseases.
When purchasing, you must immediately try on the product. If there is a feeling of tension under the knee when bending, then you should choose a different model. The knee brace should help and alleviate the condition, and not hinder movement.
For those who do not know which are the best manufacturers, below is a list of the leading brands that make knee pads:
- Orlett belongs to the German manufacturer of goods REHARD. It has a good assortment, but the price is appropriate: from 5 to 15 thousand rubles.
- Optio is a representative of the Lithuanian manufacturer in the orthopedic industry. The quality is excellent, a wide selection of products of any degree of hardness. The cost of certified products ranges from 4 to 13 thousand rubles.
- M-Polza - models of Belarusian production. The disadvantage is the small range of products; only the most common knee pads are presented. But the price is low: within 1.5-5 thousand rubles.
The use of knee braces for knee arthrosis helps restore mobility and relieve pain. The effect is achieved by reducing the load on the affected joint. The products help restore blood circulation in tissues and nourish cartilage.

Tourmaline products
Scientists from Japan have conducted a huge amount of research on tourmaline, demonstrating that when the stone is crushed, the following indicators increase: enrichment of the air with negative ions and infrared radiation. The use of the mineral in medicine has made it possible to create from it fabric, a belt, a bandage, a magnetic tourmaline knee pad, reviews of which can be read in the article below, etc. A remarkable property of such products is their durability, since the mineral can be charged from the rays of the sun and simply from exposure to heat.
Review of Bradex products
The Bradex magnetic knee brace is created using unique Israeli technology. It is made of durable and thin material that resembles artificial leather. Inside there is a special strip of flexible magnet, which provides a healing effect.
A special Velcro tape is sewn along the entire length to securely fix the orthopedic product in the correct position. The small clasp allows you to adjust the design taking into account the thickness of the leg.
The magnetic product is placed on the leg just below the kneecap and securely fastened with a strap. A correctly worn knee brace does not interfere with blood circulation and immediately begins to work.
It is in motion that the magnetic field will be emitted. Using the product at rest is not recommended.
Treatment of the knee joint
They are the most important joints in the human body. The knee joints account for about 80% of a person's load. Their vulnerability leads to direct exposure to excessive stress, cold, etc. Their fatigue, insufficient recovery period, mechanical damage, such as blows, lead to thinning and degradation of the articular cartilage; over time, it begins to lose its properties.
Tourmaline knee pads (their price, as we found out above, is low) can cope with these problems.
Price
The cost of tourmaline knee braces can vary greatly. Pricing is influenced by the type and material of the product. Polyester, in comparison with synthetic fabrics, is more expensive, but does not cause discomfort during prolonged wear and is characterized by high aeration.
The place of purchase plays an important role in pricing policy. It is better to buy bandages mainly from manufacturers or pharmacies. The patient not only saves money, but also receives a guarantee of safety, as he can request a quality certificate for review. Many online stores offer similar products at an inflated price; the quality of such products raises serious doubts.
Joint pain
The unpleasant sensations that appear in the knee joints are a consequence of their damage to various ailments, as well as the consequences of injuries.
- Arthritis is an inflammatory disease. It can develop independently or be a consequence of other diseases.
- Arthrosis is the process of destruction and degradation of joint tissue. Over time, arthrosis greatly reduces the mobility of the knee and leads to deformation of the joint itself and the bones of the legs.
- Meniscopathy is a very rare disease; it appears due to damage to the meniscus. Accompanied by severe pain, without treatment it becomes chronic and leads to the appearance of deforming arthrosis.
- Periarthritis is damage to the tendons of the knee. The pain is tormented in the area of the inner side of the knee, and becomes very severe when going up or down the stairs.
- In the joints and legs in general, when blood circulation is impaired, people suffer from vascular pain, which can accompany a person throughout his life.
Tourmaline knee pads: application
They have very high efficiency. Interestingly, even 15 minutes of use is enough for 1 session. They are very convenient to use, since they do not restrict a person’s movements, are almost invisible under clothing and can be used everywhere - at work, at school, while sleeping and at home.
Tourmaline knee pads (you can read doctors' reviews in the article below) do not need to be connected to electrical sources. The mineral itself is considered a natural source of energy and can be recharged from the energy of the sun. It is enough to keep them in the sun or battery for 3 hours - this charge will be enough for ten days of their use.
Their pads contain crushed mineral, which is considered a source of:
- Infrared, deeply penetrating radiation (up to 14 micrometers), which warms up bone tissue, joint tissue, and capillaries.
- Constant biological microcurrent, fully compatible with the biocurrents of the human body.
- Negative ions in the surrounding air, as well as in the circulatory system and human tissues.
- Their effect improves the flow of Qi energy in the body, blood circulation, and also eliminates the symptoms of stress, fatigue, insomnia, and tension.
- Tourmaline knee pads (instructions for each of them are included in the package) nourish the human biofield, protect against geopathogenic, bioenergetic and electromagnetic harmful influences, and also restore the flow of energy in the human legs.
- The use of infrared knee pads helps restore intra-articular fluid and joint cartilage, improves blood microcirculation and blood supply.
Product overview Be active
The manufacturer claims the following effect:
- reduction of pain syndrome;
- relaxation of the sciatic nerve connecting the legs and lower back;
- eliminating tension;
- fixation of joints and ligaments.
This complex effect is achieved with constant use of the orthopedic product. It can be worn at home and at work, put on at night, discomfort is eliminated even when moving. A correctly selected knee brace can be worn on the right and left leg, regardless of its fullness. Special rubber bands of the orthopedic product help to adjust the fit taking into account the fullness of the leg.
Recommendations
It should be taken into account that tourmaline knee pads require special care. Reviews from doctors about them are listed in the article below. So, when using them, you should adhere to the following recommendations:
- do not soak;
- light wash no more than 5 minutes;
- hand wash with neutral powder or baby soap;

Features of the use of orthopedic products
If your knee is bothering you, moisten the central part of the product with water and put it on your leg. After 10-15 minutes the effect will be noticeable, a feeling of pleasant warmth will appear. You can also wear a dry knee pad, but its effectiveness will be slightly lower.
Initially, it is recommended to limit yourself to 15 minutes twice a day. Subsequently, the wearing time should be increased to 20 minutes, and the frequency of use – up to 3 times a day. Noticeable results will appear in about 2.5-3 months.
Products must be regularly cleaned of dirt without using aggressive detergents or soaking in water. Just wipe it with a damp cloth.
A magnetic knee brace can be used not only in the treatment of diseases, but also for healthy joints. It will help prevent injuries, relax ligaments after intense exercise, and quickly remove waste products from tired muscles.
Tourmaline knee pads: reviews from doctors
Reading reviews from sellers about tourmaline knee pads, we can conclude that they are capable of miracles. Do doctors agree with this opinion? It must be said right away that traditional medicine does not use numerous products with tourmaline in its practice. Most experts, having studied consumer reviews, come to the conclusion that the effect of such treatment should be attributed to a person’s suggestibility.
Moreover, doctors are confident that tourmaline products can have a weak therapeutic effect. Only tourmaline, as well as its electric field, have nothing to do with it. They make you feel better by relaxing muscles, having a warming effect, and reducing stress on the joint.
It is impossible not to mention contraindications. Such products should not be used by people who have malignant tumors, a pacemaker, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, injuries of any nature, or hyperthermia.
In any case, whether you listen to the opinion of specialists or not, remember that you cannot abandon traditional methods of therapy, and tourmaline knee pads can only be an addition to treatment.
About contraindications
The effectiveness and high quality of these products are confirmed by the positive characteristics of doctors. But any medicine has limitations, and mineral products are no exception. When purchasing a tourmaline knee pad, contraindications must be taken into account.
You should refrain from using:
- with hyperfunction of the thyroid gland;
- damage to the skin;
- elevated body temperature;
- bleeding tendency;
- children;
- pregnant women;
- breastfeeding women;
- with obvious violations of temperature sensitivity;
- bruises (must pass at least a day);
- the presence of any allergic reactions.
The product capabilities are amazing. Taking into account the wide range of effects, people tend to buy tourmaline knee pads to improve their well-being. Use in patients with a pacemaker and problems with the cardiovascular system is prohibited.
