Foam Knee Pads

Do you need a foam knee pad?

A recent study by the IPG revealed that almost 75% of plumbers suffer from knee problems, which includes painful conditions such as Bursitis. This is due to the prolonged periods of time plumbers spend kneeling on hard surfaces, and can also affect electricians, roofers, bricklayers, gardeners, auto mechanics and more. Bursitis, classically known as “housemaid’s knee”, can be an extremely painful condition which can affect both your work and home life. Foam knee pads appear to be the answer.

Wearing foam knee pads is an effective measure to prevent knee pain in the workplace. Our CMB6 6LB chip foam is soft on the knees yet still offers good support. This foam is hard-wearing in nature, which makes it perfect for use by people whose occupations involve kneeling on hard surfaces. Our CMB8 8LB chip foam is a suitable option if you are looking for an even firmer foam.

It is important to note that while foam pads can help prevent knee pain, there are several other recommended measures that can be taken to avoid conditions such as Bursitis, like taking regular breaks and stretching your legs.
