Important note

While this guide helps you understand the measurement process, we strongly recommend a professional fitting at our Dubai or Abu Dhabi locations for the most accurate sizing. Improper sizing can reduce therapeutic effectiveness.

Measure in the morning, before any swelling develops
Use a flexible fabric measuring tape, not a metal one
