Knee Support Snapshot
Unfortunately the knee Helix is being dis-continued; we still have small and large sizes in stock, and as an alternative we suggest either the Patella Helix or ITB Helix depending on where you need the support.
- Support for lateral ligaments of the knee, anterior knee, patella, and patellar tendon
- Medical-grade, physician-designed
- High-tech fabric provides full range of motion
- Machine washable
- Stays in position
Knee Compression Support Uses
The Knee Helix Compression Sleeve provides a moderate level of support to the lateral ligaments of the knee. The anterior knee, the patella and the patellar tendon are supported. This makes it an ideal knee support for patellar tendonitis, minor sprains, strains, and meniscus injuries.
Body Helix uses the latest advances in fabric science to make straps, wraps, and tape obsolete. The Knee Helix Compression Sleeve remains anchored to the skin, even while you lunge, bend and sprint. Our knee support slips on easily and rests comfortably just below the knee cap, giving support and compression to the entire patella tendon and its attachments. This is shown to be a tremendous help in the treatment of patellar tendonitis. The unique design eliminates any material directly behind the knee, alleviating the annoying “cutting in” that is present with old straps and bands.
The Knee Helix utilises Form Fit Technology that allows a comfortable fit and unrestricted motion. The compression sleeve will not absorb excess water, bacteria, or odours and can be washed after every wear. Because of the unique design of our knee supports, the material can be worn for hours or miles without the discomfort caused by other braces and sleeves.
What is the difference in styles?
If you need help deciding which Helix is the correct Helix for your knee, please view our blog for more information.
Please see the Patella Helix or or ITB Helix for comparison.
See our Full Knee Helix if you need greater support for meniscus injuries, arthritis, knee sprains or strains or if you have injuries to the lateral stabilising ligaments.
See our Full Knee Helix (Open) if you have a diagnosis of Runner’s Knee, patello-femoral arthritis, or if you are experiencing pain directly behind the kneecap.
A proper fit is important
It is very important to measure your leg at base of the kneecap, just under the knee.

Hello,
I wanted to give you an update on the bodyhelix sleeve that I bought for my knee.
I stopped by your booth at the Kentucky Derby Race expo and spoke to you about my IT Band issues. You recommended the sleeve to me to use and I admit that I was hesitant to believe you.
I’m not sure if spoke to either of you about how my IT Band started bothering me. I signed up for the marathon, but 6 weeks into my training (14 miles was my longest run and that was mid February), was when my IT Band flared up.
I had to stop running altogether because my IT Band would flare up after only 2 miles.
I planned to show up yesterday with my new knee sleeve on and just get through the half marathon. Within the first few miles, I felt the sleeve heating up and noticed that my IT Band was not hurting. At mile 8, I made the crazy and drastic decision to run the whole marathon. I made this decision, because my knee felt so good.
Guess what? I did it! I ran 26.2 miles!
This was my very first marathon and I had given up on any hopes of running it. I’m so happy that I stopped at your booth. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and introducing the bodyhelix to me.

I have had rheumatoid arthritis for 20+ years, but try to stay active in sports. Went to MD with knee pain and she said to use a knee brace. I had one from the drugstore but it didn’t work very well. A friend of mine at work let me wear her BodyHelix knee brace, and it worked miracles! My swelling and pain decreased significantly after one day of work on my feet (work in health care). I HIGHLY recommend this product. The friend bought hers at a national women’s Tennis Tournament.

I really like your knee products. My family keeps stealing them.

I wore the Body Helix knee sleeve for the first time this morning when I ran. In 30+ years of running I’ve worn a lot of knee braces. This one is the best by far! It’s comfortable and it really stays in place. If you need one, you should buy it!

So far, so good!

I use them for over 50 soccer and it helps keep me upright and running full out. Great support without slowing me down.
