The Full Thigh Helix (Long) provides comfortable and uniform compression of your upper leg and is a must-have for any competitive athlete. If you desire complete coverage of the belly of your thigh muscles, then the Full Thigh Helix (Long) is the best choice.
This Helix is ideal for management of injuries to your hamstring, quadriceps, or groin, enabling you to play through minor pulls/strains/tears/spasms and whatever else you may call the pain you want to manage while you Move Through It.
It is also an excellent choice for prevention of injuries and re-injuries, warming your muscles to increase blood flow and limiting muscle oscillation to delay the onset of muscle fatigue, ensuring you can play at your best and leave it all out there.
Research has shown that warming scar tissue makes that tissue slightly more pliable (more stretchable). Wearing a Full Thigh Helix (Long) keeps your scar tissue from old injuries warm, helping to prevent re-injury and relieving strain to your muscle’s tendinous attachments.
The Full Thigh Helix (Long) is 8.5” long, 2” longer than the Thigh Helix, and is the preferred Helix for athletes 5’9” or taller. It is also sometimes the Helix of choice during the cooler months.
The Thigh Helix is preferred by the shorter athletes and for those who wish to have a smaller portion of their hamstrings and quads protected.
The Adjustable Groin Helix specifically supports the groin muscles, the tendons of the hip flexors, the external rotators of the hips, and the gluteus maximus.
Please measure your thigh at its largest circumference.
Which size should I order if I am in between sizes?
In general, leaner athletes prefer the smaller size. All others prefer the larger size.
All our compression products have two options available: Max Compression and Ultra Light. What’s the difference?
MAX Compression is what we are known for. It comes in a variety of colors and is slightly thicker at 3.0mm in thickness. MAX excels in preventive support and active injury management alike.
Ultra-Light Compression is slightly thinner at 2.0mm in thickness making it perfect for preventative support. Ultra-Light only comes in the marine blue.
We refer to this as Form Fit Technology. Body Helix believes the highest quality compression products can only be made with the highest quality material. We use a high-tech material that has more stretch and more elasticity than any other compression products on the market today. It stretches far more than the human body, allowing for full range of motion of any joint on which it is placed. Just as important, it also has far superior elasticity, allowing it to rebound as fast the joint or muscle and ensuring that it will always remain in contact with your body as you move, no matter how quickly and explosively.
Body Helix believes in form and function. Not only must our products look good, they must provide the most effective level of uniform compression for injury prevention and injury management, because we are committed to the science of keeping athletes active and helping them to Move Through It. We offer two levels of medical-grade compression. Our Max Weight firm medical grade 1 compression at 20-30mmHg and our Ultra-Light 2.0 moderate medical-grade 1 compression at 15-20mmHg. The incredible stretch and elasticity of our high-tech material coupled with our moisture activated adherence means that our compression sleeves do not need straps to keep them in place and can provide you with a uniform compression throughout.
We refer to this as Moisture Activated Adherence. Body Helix believes that the highest quality compression products can only be made using the highest quality material. In the world of compression gear, any movement of the product means distraction from what is most important - focus and performance. Our proprietary material “locks” to your skin with moisture (sweat) ensuring that it will not slip, it will not slide down, it will not move other than to stretch with your body. You will realize just how “locked” it is the first time you wear it, when you need to take it off by folding it down and then easing it off of your body. So, make sure you have it where you want it before you start to sweat! And make sure you fold it down before removing it!
Body Helix believes that the highest quality compression products can only be made using the highest quality material. Our high tech material likes to be clean, just like you. The closed cell synthetic rubber does not absorb any odors or bacteria, but the outside material can. So, please wash it frequently - every time you wear it if possible. You can wear it right into the shower and wash it with soap and water, wash it in the sink with soap and water, or put it in the washing machine. And, if you are wearing it regularly, make sure you put it in the dryer on medium heat at least once a week, more if you would like. The more you wash it, the longer it will last. So, please wash it regularly.
