Padding and Pressure Relief
for Bursitis
Protective padding over the affected bursa (olecranon, prepatellar, Achilles) prevents further mechanical trauma from contact pressure.
How it works
Distributes contact pressure over a wider area, reducing the compressive force on the inflamed bursa. Donut-shaped padding is most effective, creating a pressure-free zone over the bursa.
What to watch for
Most relevant for superficial bursae (elbow, knee cap, heel). Use in combination with activity modification and treatment of the underlying inflammation.
