Despite the heights that Ronaldo reached, his career was also blighted with injury. Ronaldo would suffer three serious knee injuries between 1999 and 2008. The most devastating injury for the player was in 2008. While playing for A.C. Milan, Ronaldo ruptured his kneecap ligament in his left knee for the third time. This caused him to miss the rest of the season and ultimately be released by the club. Three years later he would retire. Fast forward a couple years through college and post undergrad I still can’t play soccer confidently and my strikes are no where near as powerful as the were pre surgery. I’ve gone through so many braces, sleeves, kinesiology tape, you name it to find more support and comfort that it has just become exhausting and expensive. I still find mobility is an issue and during the game I am always doubting the stability within my knee. I feel I will always be a step under my past potential until i can feel comfortable that my knee has the support it needs. The first is to prevent and manage minor injuries, and stop them reoccurring during exercise. For instance if you have a history of patellar tendinopathy (runner’s knee), you could wear a supportive knee sleeve to stop it flaring up.

They are widely used among a range of individuals as a form of support and are typically worn following an ACL surgery. As the name suggests, functional knee braces are effective in returning users to functional activity after a ligament injury. Regular physical movement can also help prevent “the vicious cycle that happens with arthritis,” says Jo. “You have a painful joint, so you don’t move it and it becomes more immobile, and then you lose it. If you have arthritis, you must stay mobile.” An alternative to the knee sleeve is to wrap the knee in special tape. The advantage of knee wraps over sleeves is that you can adjust the tightness depending on how stable the knee needs to be.
