How can I treat iliofemoral sprain? 

Most people don’t know that they have an iliofemoral ligament until they injure it. Fortunately, compression shorts are an easy way to speed up the recovery process if you do injure your iliofemoral ligament.

Where is the iliofemoral ligament?

The iliofemoral ligament connects the pelvis to the femur and supports the hip joint during hip extension. Overuse or a direct force injury to this ligament will cause a sprain or tear.

What are the symptoms of an iliofemoral sprain?

After an iliofemoral sprain, you may experience pain and stiffness in the hip joint. Depending on the severity of the injury, it may be difficult to walk or return to daily activities right away.

What is the best way to recover from an iliofemoral sprain?

Many doctors will prescribe the R.I.C.E. protocol when recovering from a ligament sprain: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Use compression sleeves and shorts to provide medical-grade compression to the area in order to reduce pain, promote blood flow, and speed recovery. BioSkin’s Ultima Compression Shorts do just that, and are made of a lightweight, breathable and highly wearable material.

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
