Product Description The Knee Helix provides targeted support and warmth for your patellar tendon, without the need for straps and without unnecessary bulk. We used our high-tech material to design a jumpers knee brace that easily slips on and stays in place. It is ideal for anyone who suffers from patella tendinitis(commonly called jumpers knee) which is characterized by pain and tenderness just below the kneecap along the length of the patellar tendon. Our unique design eliminates any material directly behind your knee, alleviating the annoying “cutting in” that is present with other strap, making it an ideal knee support for running. It’s so comfortable that you will forget you have it on.
