Product Description
The Body Helix Patella knee support band is the first of its kind for Osgood Schlatter Disease (OSD), providing a targeted compression of the patellar tendon. It's sleek design with no "bulge" over the tendon means it fits easily under knee pads and other compression.
Other braces for OSD utilize straps and bulky material, so they have a "bulge" that hurts when you fall on it. We designed a brace that slips on and stays in place without the need for bulky straps. It’s effective; it’s comfortable; your child will want to wear it. And, you can wash it over and over again. If you have kids, you don’t need to have that wonderful attribute explained.
This Helix is perfect for anyone who suffers from runners knee or patellar femoral pain syndrome. Our runners knee brace is not just for runners; it is ideal for anyone who suffers pain underneath or to the side of their kneecap. If your kneecap does not track correctly or “wobbles”, the targeted pressure of the Patella knee support band can help without the need to constantly tape around your kneecap.
The Patellar knee band support can also provide warmth and support to the patella tendon for those who suffer from jumper’s knee or patellar tendonitis, ensuring that the tendon stays warm while you exercise without the need to wear a sleeve that covers your entire knee joint.
What is the difference in styles?
The Patella Helix is recommended for Osgood-Schlatter Disease, Patellar Femoral Pain Syndrome (runners knee), pain behind the kneecap, or patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee).
The Knee Helix is the helix of choice for those who have a minor meniscus injury or an old meniscus injury, mild arthritis, or patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee).
The Full Knee Helix is ideal for those who want the simplicity of a compression sleeve that slips on. It covers the entire knee joint, as well as the tendons and muscles for several inches below and above the knee joint.
Proper fit is important
