How does a BodyHelix Full Knee support help?

A BodyHelix Full Knee Helix provides exceptional heat retention, improving blood flow and keeping the cold at bay.

An article in the Arthritis Today magazine quoted the American College of Rheumatology on the recommended management of arthritis as stating, “The use of lightweight knee braces may correct misaligned bones of the knee joint and reduce pressure on the soft tissues.”

The article went on to say that the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons supports the use of knee braces for Osteoarthritis, stating that braces, “may provide significant reduction in pain”.

If you are going to seek the proven benefits of a knee support you will want to be looking at one that is the most comfortable to wear. Designed by orthopaedic surgeons who were fed up with conventional supports slipping and bunching behind the knee, the Full Knee Helix has been designed with comfort and practicality in mind.

Who does Osgood Schlatters Disease (OSD) affect?

The three main vulnerabilities for OSD are:

Children (aged 9-16)

Sporty or active individuals

Growth spurts

Typically, Osgood Schlatters Disease is more likely to occur in individuals that are in all three groups.

How does a BodyHelix Patella support help?

Unlike conventional patella straps, which are velcro and squeeze the patella tendon with no facility to stretch as the knee expands as it bends, the double layer of support offered by a Patella Helix exerts gentle but firm pressure on the patella tendon. This support reduces the loads and stresses on the patella tendon and therefore helps to reduce the amount of pull on the attachment of the tendon.

If a Patella Helix is worn at the first signs of Osgood Schlatters Disease, the first diagnosis, for any flare ups, or even for preventative measures the comfort and support will aid in the management of the symptoms.

The super-flexibility of the Patella Helix will not restrict movement and is so comfortable it has been likened to wearing a watch – you forget it’s there. All this results in the Osgood Schlatters Disease (OSD) sufferer being able to be more active, with less pain, sooner.
