Because of the rotational demands of a golf swing, the lower back endures significant load and pressure with each round and practice session. Bauerfeind’s back braces stabilize the lower back to relieve pain without limiting your mobility for medical-grade support with every swing.
Effective Back Relief on and off the Course
Many golfers experience lower back pain or stiffness at some point in their lifetime, whether it’s from poor mechanics or an awkward swing.
As active supports, Bauerfeind’s back braces redistribute pressure and improve posture for relief that lasts from the first tee to the final green. Featuring circular compression and breathable, lightweight, moisture-wicking materials, our lower back supports for golf help you spend less time dealing with discomfort and more time on the course.

Selecting the Best Back Support for Your Swing
Deciding on the best back support for you depends on the location of your pain, the level of support needed, and how you intend to wear it.
For general lumbar fatigue or mild discomfort that develops during play, the Sports Back Support could be ideal for you, as an active support that moves with you for better performance. Its AirKnit fabric is breathable and moisture-wicking, with targeted compression zones that improve proprioception across the lower back.
If you’re experiencing chronic lower back pain or lumbar stiffness, the LumboTrain could be the right choice, as it provides targeted pain relief during everyday movement and activities.
The SacroLoc is engineered for pain and stiffness in the SI joints, which are located near the base of your spine. The SI joint belt’s two-part massage pad and adjustable strap system offers targeted relief during movement.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can a brace relieve golf-related lower back pain?
Absolutely, a medical-grade back brace can reduce pain, improve posture, and enhance proprioceptive feedback during movement, helping keep your lower back more engaged throughout your swing.
Bauerfeind’s lower back braces and supports provide effective pain relief and functional movement, and are designed for active wear.
Will Bauerfeind’s back braces restrict my golf swing?
Our golf back braces are designed to support rotational movement, not restrict it.
The Sports Back Support, LumboTrain back brace, and SacroLoc SI joint belt all use circular compression that’s engineered to move with your body through each phase of the golf swing.
Are Bauerfeind’s back supports for golf machine washable?
Yes! The Sports Back Support, LumboTrain, and SacroLoc are machine washable. We recommend regular washing using cold/cool water in the gentle or delicate cycle before laying the brace flat to air-dry, as this will help maintain the product’s fit, comfort and effectiveness.
It’s fine to wash using regular laundry detergent, but please avoid using additives (such as fabric softener or Woolite), as this can damage the knit fabric. Additionally, make sure to securely fasten any straps using the area provided on the brace.
We also recommend using our Mesh Washing Bag for additional protection and care when washing. For more information, please visit Bauerfeind’s Product Care Guide.
Are Bauerfeind back braces HSA/FSA eligible?
Many of Bauerfeind’s back braces, including the LumboTrain and SacroLoc, are eligible for reimbursement through most FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts) and HSAs (Health Savings Accounts). View our HSA/FSA-eligible products for more information.
Additionally, because FSA/HSA plans vary, we recommend contacting your employer or plan administrator to confirm eligibility and reimbursement before purchase.
