Impressive Solution

Redefining Arm Care

In football, arm overuse injuries are easy to get but hard to overcome. Quarterbacks, in particular, put immense force on a relatively unstable shoulder joint when throwing, which can lead to a variety of overuse injuries. The heavier weight of a football compared to a baseball forces the arm to externally rotate more, putting extra stress on the elbow and shoulder. This stress contributes to common injuries like rotator cuff tears, labrum injuries, biceps tendonitis, and UCL strains.

NOTHING LIKE IT

Until now, no product has offered unrestricted elbow and shoulder support that has been scientifically proven to reduce dynamic arm stress that can lead to fatigue, pain, and overuse injuries. The Kinetic Arm K2 BioKinetic® Sleeve stands apart from traditional arm supports by offering combined elbow and shoulder stabilization that has been scientifically proven to reduce dynamic arm stress while allowing for full, natural movement. Unlike standard sleeves, the K2 Sleeve uses its multi-patented MuscleWeb® Design to dynamically reinforce muscles, ligaments, and joints, ensuring safer ranges of motion and reducing overall arm stress.

ESSENTIAL SUPPORT
ELBOW & SHOULDER

Dual joint support is vital for football players, especially quarterbacks and receivers, because the shoulder and elbow work together in every throwing and catching motion. Without support for both joints, repetitive stress can lead to overuse injuries, fatigue, and decreased accuracy. The Kinetic Arm offers dynamic, activated support for both the shoulder and elbow, reducing arm stress and preventing injuries while maintaining natural movement and optimizing mechanics. By protecting both joints, players can throw more consistently, improve accuracy, and preserve their arm health.

Intelligent Design
ACTIVATED SUPPORT

The Kinetic Arm K2 Sleeve's multi-patented MuscleWeb® design provides dynamic support for football players by reinforcing muscles, ligaments, and joints, ensuring safer motion and reducing arm stress. With strategically placed polymers, it delivers targeted, multi-directional support to the elbow and shoulder, stabilizing joints during intense movements like high-stress throws. By offloading strain from critical areas, the K2 Sleeve supports optimal mechanics, reduces the risk of fatigue and injuries, and maintains full range of motion, allowing athletes to perform at their best.

Multi-Directional Supportive Design

Full Elbow Support

The MuscleWeb® technology provides full elbow support with strategically placed polymers that reinforce the medial and lateral sides of the joint during dynamic arm movements. This targeted support stabilizes the elbow, ligaments, and forearm muscles, particularly during external rotation and the late cocking phases of throwing. By reducing torque and dynamic stress in these high-strain phases, the sleeve helps prevent common overuse injuries like medial epicondylitis, UCL injuries, and avulsion fractures, offering crucial protection for football players.
