Compression for Sports Injuries

 

Tennis player Lawrence Fuller recently sat down with Tom Parker, MD to discuss his experience with Body Helix compression wraps.  While our products help those recover from a wide range of sports injuries, Lawrence uses Body Helix compression wraps to recover from wrist and thigh injuries. The wraps provide support and warmth prior, during, and after his tennis game, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries. Discover why Lawrence choses Body Helix wraps for compression treatment, injury management, and why he "can’t play tennis without it.”

Getting Relief from Arthritis Pain In Your Ankle
Arthritis occurs when the articulate cartilage, or flexible tissue, that coats the ends of the bones breaks down. There are many causes of cartilage loss, including inflammation, trauma, infections or crystal disease. The most common, though, is degenerative loss of cartilage. This, more commonly known as osteoarthritis (OA or degenerative joint disease), happens when the joint surface is mechanically overloaded, due to repetitive asymmetric motion, or wear and tear.
Elastic Bandages: a Thing of the Past
There are two components to high-quality compression products: stretch and strain. Stretch refers to the compression material’s elasticity. A compression sleeve that does not stretch as much as the body will either restrict motion or migrate out of position when the joint is flexed. Strain, however, refers to the material’s ability to snap back to its normal shape and maintain compression after a stretch is applied.
