Frequently Asked Questions

If your body says "no" to your need to do more, move more, and be more, you're inevitably stopping short of the person you want to be. Pain and discomfort are powerful saboteurs, and it's easy to become dominated by them.

Mobility is fundamental to health and happiness. If you stop moving, you stop living. GO Fitness provides mobility for life.

There are other brands out there that are more expensive but don't have near the features of our sleeves. Our patented technology provides the full benefits of Kinesiology taping and compression at a much lower price. If you want to invest in a piece of technology that will keep you mobile and allow you to have a full range of movement, pain free — this is the solution for you.

While Kinesiology Tape does provide some people with relief, it has drawbacks as well:

  • Difficult to self-apply — a coach, trainer, or PT needs to be on hand to do this.
  • Expensive
  • Not reusable
  • Not consistently sticky

Some users find relief, but there are limitations:

  • No kinesiology benefits
  • Comfort vs. support tradeoffs
  • Limited pain-management benefits
  • Too bulky — restricts movement and you can't put pants over them
  • Neoprene sleeves aren't breathable, attract bacteria, and literally stink!
  • Improves blood circulation in the exact area needed
  • Reduces pain
  • Injury prevention & rehabilitation
  • Reduces swelling
  • Enhances performance
  • Faster recovery
  • Improves range of motion

GO Sleeves are suitable for ages 12 and above.

  1. Ensure your knee is free of lotion or any oily substance.
  2. Turn the sleeve inside out.
  3. Position the sleeve so the logo is at the top and on the front side of your leg.
  4. Pull the sleeve over the leg with the logo on top, halfway to your calf muscle.

To activate the sleeve:

  1. Bend your leg about 30 degrees.
  2. Roll up the sleeve with a nice upward stretch. Keep rolling it up with a lift-and-stretch motion until the top has rolled up above your calf muscle.
  3. When you're done, make sure the round design is over the kneecap.

You should feel a snug fit, extra support on your ligaments and tendons, and even a stretching sensation. You may need to adjust until comfortable — just roll the sleeve back down and try again, doing the lift and stretch until you're happy with the tension.

You'll probably feel a warming sensation around your knee as your GO Sleeve accelerates the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid. If you're recovering from an injury, your healing just got accelerated. And if you've got activity in mind, you'll enjoy the performance and support power-up from your GO Sleeve.

  1. Ensure your leg is free of lotion or any oily substance.
  2. The calf sleeve is specific to your left and right leg — make sure the logo is positioned on the inside and the kinesiology strip is on the outside of your leg.
  3. Turn the sleeve inside out.
  4. To correctly position the sleeve, the side with the split strips should be centered under your heel.
  5. Pull the bottom of the sleeve up to the middle of your ankle bone.
  6. Roll it up with a lift-and-stretch motion until the top is above your calf muscle.

To activate the sleeve:

  1. Lift and stretch the front side of the sleeve.
  2. Flex your toes up and lift and stretch the back side of the sleeve.
  3. Lift and stretch the bottom of the sleeve.

You should feel a snug fit and a stretch on your heel, calf, and shin split area. You may need to adjust until comfortable — roll the sleeve back down and try again until you're happy with the support and tension.

When the sleeve is correctly positioned, the logo will be on the inside and the kinesiology strip will be on the outside of your leg. The split pair of kinesiology strips should be centered on your calf.

You should feel a warming sensation on your calf within minutes as your GO Sleeve accelerates the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid.

We recommend a maximum of four hours at a time, up to four times a day, for busy and active periods (work, physical activities, etc.). Take a rest break between sessions.

If you plan to wear it longer than four hours for rehabilitation purposes, we recommend wearing it inside out.

It should be snug — but not tight. If it's too tight, you may need another size. Please contact customer service and we'll be glad to help.

Our sleeves weigh 5–8 ounces, are not bulky, and won't slow you down while you work out, play, or recover. They're light enough to wear under your daily clothes.

Our sleeves are meant to help you heal from inflammation and stiffness. If you're still having pain while wearing the sleeves or afterward, it's a good idea to see your physician.

Yes — GO Sleeves can relieve joint pain by supporting the muscles and ligaments around the knee and calf.

Our kinesiology pattern targets specific muscles to promote lymphatic fluid drainage, allowing for improved blood flow and delaying lactic acid build-up that causes muscle fatigue.

  • During activities — sports, work (especially standing for long periods).
  • Resting after activity — wear the sleeves inside out for recovery.
  • Sleeping — wear the sleeves inside out to prevent patellar displacement.

Great question — the developers of GO Sleeves fit squarely into this category. Our sleeves are made especially for weekend warriors. If you're not exercising regularly, you tend to experience more pain and joint stiffness. GO Sleeves help accelerate recovery and rehabilitation, which reduces the risk of injury.

GO Sleeves support the proper muscle groups in the knee area. This stability gives you extra confidence during your workout.

Because you can wear GO Sleeves without restrictions, your body's natural movements allow you to do more with confidence. You'll be faster and more aggressive during high-intensity workouts.

Ensure the area is free of lotion or any oily substance before putting the sleeve on. You can wear it comfortably like any other piece of workout clothing or gear, and it will stay in place throughout your activities.

We recommend machine washing and hanging dry. If the silicone strips get sticky after a workout, simply wipe them clean with a damp paper towel. Even after multiple washes and air drying, the sleeves return to their original shape.

Our sleeves are meant to reduce the risk of injuries — the muscles that support the joint stay less fatigued. They should not be considered a piece of protective equipment like a helmet.

Yes — this is exactly why we built them. GO Sleeves relieve joint pain and stiffness caused by arthritis.

Knees are especially susceptible to pain, injury, and arthritis — specifically osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis. Today, osteoarthritis isn't just a disease affecting older adults. The percentage of younger people with symptoms is growing, including those who lead sedentary lifestyles or participate in high-impact sports. Obesity, wear and tear on the ligaments, loss of cartilage, and injuries all contribute to the onset of arthritis.

While there's no cure for arthritis, staying active while wearing our sleeves can keep the muscles around affected joints strong and help control joint swelling and pain.

Sure do! We have a wide range of products launching soon. Please sign up for our newsletter to stay up-to-date on our latest offerings.

Studies show that compression sleeves help with lymphatic fluid promotion, which aids recovery and rehabilitation. That said, please feel free to check with your doctor.

Yes — if you need to return a sleeve due to fit, your return will be donated to one of our charitable partners.

The inside of GO Sleeves contains silicone strips that come in direct contact with your skin.

In very rare cases, direct contact with silicone can cause irritation — usually when a substance like lotion, oil, soap, or sweat becomes trapped in the follicles while the silicone is on the skin for long periods.

We encourage you to limit wear of your GO Sleeves to no more than 4 hours in "active mode" (silicone inside) during activity such as walking, running, or working out — up to 6 hours in "recovery and rehab mode" (wearing the sleeve inside out).

Wiping the silicone with warm water and a paper towel should remove any oily substance from previous use.

True silicone allergies are very rare, but if you notice a red, raised rash limited to just the silicone strips, please discontinue use immediately or try wearing the sleeve inside out.
