How NuNee Works

NuNee is designed to relieve the pressure between the knee cap (patella) and femur, which is the primary cause of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). NuNee provides a gentle lift to the patella, which reduces the contact between the femur and patella, allowing your knee to glide smoothly and naturally without pain.

To understand exactly how NuNee helps relieve Runner's knee pain, it is important to understand what is causing the pain. Patellofemoral pain syndrome is most commonly caused by the overuse of the knee over time. This overuse wears down the cartilage between the femur and the patella, causing increased friction that leads to aching, burning, and stiffness.

NuNee connects directly to your knee cap using athletic tape and a knee wrap, allowing it to dynamically apply a corrective lifting force on the patella that relieves pressure.

Research consistently reveals that relieving pressure relieves pain.
