Fred Robinson, Chairman of Body Helix, is a 70-time World and U.S. medalist tennis champion and was inducted into the NC Tennis Hall of Fame in 2019. Robinson also is a U.S. National Grand Slam Title holder in singles and doubles and is an eleven-time Atlanta Senior Invitational Pro Tournament Singles Champion. He has been ranked No.1 in the United States in senior tennis in both singles and doubles multiple times during his career. He was also recognized as Player of the Year in the Men’s Open Singles in North Carolina and Florida and is an eight-time undefeated champion in the ITF World Team Competition. During his 30-year career, Robinson has also received many distinctions such as the Slew Hester Player of the Year Award, the National Gil Roberts Sportsmanship Award, and the Best Senior Tournament of the Year Award. Robinson founded Body Helix in 2008 when he observed that compression gear designed for muscle and joint pain/injuries had minimal effect, was uncomfortable, and was decades behind the advances of fabric science. This motivated Robinson to search for a material that would do three things better than any other material in the world of compression: stretch, rebound, and stay in place. His passion for creating high-quality, eco-friendly compression products is demonstrated through his continuous product research, development, and design efforts.

Did you do a double-take on the title of this post? I know it sounds crazy, but there are benefits to injuries. Stick with me here…
