NEO-G REHAB XCELERATOR KNEE SUPPORT The Neo-G knee support was road tested by Ted Medhurst, our ad director, at the Hastings Half Marathon in March. “A knee injury has plagued me for years, following two decades of playing football. I hadn’t run for a long time when I signed up to the half, which I was running for charity. The support felt comfortable, and I'm sure wearing it helped get me round the gruelling course. The silver lining is said to accelerate repair, and after the event wearing the support eased my aches and pains” £49.99,
