I've had multiple dislocations on my right shoulder from participating in my many extreme sports, motocross being my #1. I had surgery on it a few years back but still always felt like I had to favor it. Then my left side blew out even worse than the right, costing me thousands of dollars in emergency bills. realizing I couldn't afford surgery again, I had to give up riding. Some very depressing years of my life. Then a few months ago I bought a bike again and started researching the different shoulder braces out there. Played around with some single sided ones and had to double them up. Very uncomfortable and couldn't really put faith in them. Then I discovered the Bodyguard double shoulder brace, ordered it to my specifications, got it sent to me fast and it fits perfect! As soon as I put it on I was amazed at the support and comfort, it even makes my posture feel better. so I took it to the track and rode some pretty hard moto! There's a rhythm section with a series of arm wrenching doubles, I could feel the brace holding my shoulders intact as though I never even had an injury! The way this brace grips to your skin like a new set of external tendons/ muscles is absolutely amazing! It didn't move a millimeter whereas other braces slide up my arm and bunch up in my armpit causing great discomfort and distrust in the product. I am very thankful for Bodyguards double shoulder brace allowing me to do what I love most. I will recommend this product to anyone who participates in active sports. I'll be buying another one if this one wears out and I'll probably be trying the knee braces too. Thank you keep it up!

Phil, wanted to drop you a quick line and tell you thanks for the quick delivery of my son's compression shorts for his hamstring injury, he has been wearing them for all practices and games since he has gotten them, and have aided in his recovery, while giving great support, again, thank you, I'm sure our paths will cross again. Take care.

In the almost 3 years I've worn "the Angle" I've managed to loose over 60 lbs, mostly the last year, while cutting my body-fat from 33% to 14% and healed a lot, all while still working two jobs that are extremely hard on my shoulder. If it wasn't for your garment, I know I couldn't have done it and your customer service is second to no-one.

I was so happy to receive this email from you. Jackie and I have recommended Antibody to anyone that we come across that has a sports injury and needs to play through it. I don't know if you remember Jackie but here is her story. She was a lacrosse player for the University of Notre Dame. She had injured her hamstring in her freshman year in the weight room. It just never quite healed as she played through it. In her junior year she had a recurrence of this injury. This is when we heard about Antibody. She went on to be a two-time First Team All-American for Notre Dame. The only one in the history of Notre Dames Women's Lacrosse.While Jackie was a tough and talented player, we gave a lot of credit to her "magic pants", as we came to call her Antibody pants, for supporting her through the injury. If you ever need a spokesperson for your product, Jackie is your girl. She is still using them as she coaches at Marquette University. Best of Luck and thank you again for such a great product.

In the summer of 2010, I suffered my first major injury of my entire life; a dislocated shoulder. I was playing shortstop in our baseball game and I dove to get the ball and landed on my side, my shoulder taking the most force. Since then, my shoulder has dislocated five times, and the last time my doctor told me I might be looking into surgery to fix up my shoulder. At the age of 18, I didn't want surgery. After researching online, my parents found the “Angle” shoulder brace to try out. This brace has performed so well for me with my active lifestyle. I am active in sports like baseball, softball, basketball, football, almost every day. I have been hit by pitches, ran into by players, and have even made diving stops with this brace on and my arm feels just like had never been injured. The way this brace is set up, when it is on your body, it basically becomes a second skin and I can hardly tell I am wearing it during games. It does not restrict any of my arm motions the slightest bit. The thing this brace does the best is give me the confidence to play to my best ability with no worries and no regrets.

I just wanted you to know, I had my old "Velcro straps and stays" knee brace on this morning when yours arrived. I put it on right away and can already tell the difference. A constant ache at the side back of my knee stopped immediately. I go to Zumba three times a week and the classes have at least 50 people in them. You can be sure I will be singing your praises to every one that will listen! Thanks SO much!

I could not wait till tomorrow to e-mail you and thank you very much for the elbow brace. When I got it, I put it on right away. I can not believe the difference it has made in one day. I don’t have total movement yet, but I have about 80% more than I did have. And they have been telling me that I had the worst case of “Elbow Acute Lateral Epicondylitis” that they have ever seen. Like I said earlier I have PT this afternoon and I am looking forward to seeing what they think of the improvement. Also I am taking a printout of your home page so they can check you out themselves. P.S. (Update) My PT guy was very impressed and told me to keep wearing the brace. The treatment they are using on me was developed at Ball State University also. Once again Thank you very much,

I recently had a lower back injury. I am a very athletic person who pride himself on keeping active, but this injury put me in down. I began to wear the usual suspects( Back braces), which are uncomfortable and limits your movement. I have worn Antibody knee braces for a few years now and I am very impressed with the performance. So in that light, I contacted Phil of The BodyGuard by Antibody wear and obtained a Back Brace which is comfortable and supportive. I can wear this every day. Feels like my second skin. Thanks again Phil!!! True to form.

Several years ago I took a nasty fall. Ended up severing off my quad muscle also ripped away the ligaments and tendons from the knee. My surgeon claimed he had never seen a worse knee. Which is saying much considering he'd saved the careers of a number of pro athletes. After the surgery and months of physical therapy my knee showed marginal improvement. But I was at least functional. Then one day I was told about this specific knee brace that actually transfers energy to the muscles. I admittedly was a little skeptical until I got the brace and tried it out at my local gym. I noticed the change immediately. Just leaving the men's locker room to the gym area the muscle responses were better, I didn't even limp as badly. That day I worked my legs harder than I had in years. The improvement was noticeable immediately. I worked out pain free that day and haven't looked back since. Until now I had never endorsed any product but I do endorse this product. BOTTOM LINE....THESE BRACES WORK!

I received my Bodyguard compression shorts order. I have worn the compression shorts a total of 6 times or 9 hours. I was extremely pleased with the results. At age 75, hamstring and quad injuries do not heal quickly but I was able to play at full speed with no re-occurrence of these injuries. Pickle ball requires a lot of short, quick moves and I played all out with great confidence while I had the shorts on--in fact, I do not want to play if I don’t have them on.
