Patella Compression Sleeve Uses
The Patella Helix Compression Sleeve brings together performance and comfort not yet found in conventional knee bands, knee braces and supports! With a dual layer of support designed to provide comfort and compression to the patellar tendon, the Patella Helix reduces the vibration and oscillation that causes discomfort and knee pain. Perfect for all activities, from speed walking to sprinting, the Patella Helix Compression Sleeve helps you do your best by reducing and relieving patella pain (just below the knee) and patella tendon pain (patellar tendonitis).
What is the difference in styles?

A proper fit is important
It is very important to measure your leg arround the knee at the widest part accross the kneecap.

My oldest daughter is a distance runner and a high jumper and loves the one she has and has been asking for a year for another one in x-small but I was not able to locate one so wanted to start with you. It really helps with the “growing” knee pains she has.

Thanks for the comments! And if I like them, I’ll tell Dr. Wilder about them, I am a “frequent flyer” as a patient with him. I saw a 600’ish page textbook on his desk last time, something like ” Textbook for Running Medicine,” and his research is about how we all can do more exercise well into late life, for him that’s running, if we are sensible.
Your products come in cool colors, too, so they don’t look so medical/rehab 🙂

I ride my bike five miles plus fast-walk a mile or two daily. I’ve been diagnosed with patella femoral syndrome, which acts up intermittently in both knees. To correct the problem, I use the Body Helix full knee brace on my left knee and the Body Helix patella knee brace on the right. They help the patella track correctly, and any discomfort quickly disappears. Another fast-walker in our neighborhood told me she spends $45 a month to tape her knees for patella problems; I’ve given her your website and hope she places an order soon!

I’ve tried several different brands of Patella devices and they have worked for the most part, however after using several Body Helix wraps I decided to try they’re model and I must say that it was much more comfortable and extra material around the back or your leg helps to keep those muscles and tendon’s warm and loose also.
