GenuTrain® - Knee Brace
Medical-Grade Relief and Stability The GenuTrain knee brace provides secure support for mild instability and relieves knee pain and swelling. With an Omega+ Pad, the knee support provides targeted stimulation to sensitive areas of the knee that influence pain perception and mobility. Its anatomically contoured knitted fabric, with a soft, textured surface, delivers a gentle massaging effect while promoting proprioception during movement. Embedded stays with flexible bending zones and donning and doffing aids ensure a secure fit and make the support easy to put on and take off. The GenuTrain is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, especially in the sensitive area at the back of the knee, for all-day wearing comfort. Improves Circulation and Proprioception With medical-grade compression provided by a comfortable knitted fabric, the GenuTrain knee brace produces intermittent massage during movement, relieving knee pain and stimulating the body’s metabolic response. This improves circulation to bring more oxygenated blood to the affected tissue and reduces pain and swelling in and around the knee. The GenuTrain’s uniquely engineered design activates the body’s own stabilization mechanisms: its soft knitted fabric is anatomically contoured to ensure full contact with the skin, engaging proprioceptors that send signals to the brain. This feedback leads to improved control of the muscles stabilizing the joint. The active knee support’s Omega+ Pad protects and encases the kneecap, stabilizing the joint and massaging the surrounding tissue during movement. This feature enhances the support's pain-relieving and sensorimotor effects by stimulating two sensitive areas of the knee: the Hoffa’s fat pad and the base of the meniscus. In these Hoffa spots and meniscus wings, the viscoelastic gel material incorporates flexible massage nubs that provide additional selective stimuli during movement to counteract unnatural corrective habits. Remains in Place During Activity The GenuTrain knee support remains securely in position. Lateral plastic stays embedded in the brace have flexible bending zones that follow the user’s movement patterns and stretch the knitted fabric around the knee to prevent slippage. Donning and doffing aids integrated into the stays make it easier to put on and take off the support. Thanks to compression-reduced edges and a soft, airier knitted comfort zone in the hollow of the knee, the GenuTrain is comfortable to wear, even during longer periods of intensive movement during the day.

EpiTrain - Elbow Brace
Targeted Compression for Chronic Elbow Pain Bauerfeind’s EpiTrain elbow brace relieves elbow pain related to tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow and arthritis.

The new two-component Epicon+ Pads massage the muscles, relieve pressure and facilitate secure positioning of the brace. Our EpiTrain Forearm Strap can provide additional pain-relieving effects and support if needed. Advanced Protection for the Elbow When your elbow tissue is strained, achy, swollen or inflamed, Bauerfeind’s EpiTrain provides relief you can rely on. As you move, the brace’s special knitted fabric and integrated viscoelastic pads stimulate muscles and help the healing process. During activity or movement, EpiTrain has a compression massage effect on the surrounding soft tissue, which relieves pain, activates the surrounding muscles, reduces swelling and stabilizes the elbow joint. Breathable, Moisture-Wicking Material Bauerfeind’s Train knit material is lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking and machine-washable, which allows you to comfortably wear the EpiTrain time after time. The brace’s medical-grade compression supports the elbow while adapting to your movement, so you can quickly return to your favorite activity. For additional comfort, the EpiTrain features a softer and more breathable knit at the crook of the elbow as well as more elastic edges for improved fit. The brace is durable and machine-washable in a delicate or gentle cycle using cold water, which helps maintain its elasticity and original fit. Elbow Support for a Range of Health Conditions Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow and arthritis can all be persistent and painful conditions, and they can all stem from overuse or repeated stress to the elbow area. Bauerfeind’s EpiTrain elbow brace offers support and relief for each condition as well as for injuries or after surgery. The EpiTrain uses its knit material, targeted compression and massage pads with massage nubs to reduce pain and swelling, which helps encourage the elbow’s healing process.

Sports Ankle Support
Stabilizes and Relieves Ankle Pain During Activity The Sports Ankle Support's figure-8 strap system provides individually adjustable stabilization similar to athletic taping. It’s more durable, easier to apply and seamlessly fits inside shoes, while also maintaining its stability during rigorous activities. Effective Relief from Shin Splints Medial tibial stress syndrome, also known as shin splints, is a common source of pain for many runners and athletes. Its contributing factors include ankle laxity, previous injuries or repetitive stress on the tibia and the connective tissues that attach surrounding muscles to the bone. The Sports Ankle Support stabilizes the ankle without changing its natural gait or limiting the range of motion. This enhanced stability reduces the stress on the tibia, thus relieving pain. A clinical survey found that the Sports Ankle Support brought the average pain level by shin splints from 7.8/10 to 1/10 after just four weeks. Enhanced Breathability, Compression and Comfort Bauerfeind’s AirKnit fabric is lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking and washable, which allows you to comfortably wear the Sports Ankle Support time after time. Its textured compression stabilizes the ankle while allowing maximum freedom of movement, making it ideal for walkers, runners and athletes of all levels. The AirKnit fabric provides targeted compression to increase circulation and absorption of swelling. It reduces joint, tendon and ligament loads throughout use while improving proprioception, which can translate to improved confidence and reduced injury rates.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the most common injuries for runners?

At least 50% of runners experience some type of running-related injury each year, with some of the most common including runner’s knee, iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), shin splints, patellar tendonitis, muscle pulls, Achilles tendonitis, sprained ankles and plantar fasciitis. Each affects the lower body and is often related to excessive strain.

Bauerfeind braces, supports and compression wear help stabilize and support your joints, relieve pain and reduce swelling to get you to the finish line. We recommend considering the braces and supports below for various running-related injuries.

“Runner’s knee” is the common name for Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). It is caused by a combination of muscular and biomechanical imbalances. While there is no definitive solution to preventing runner’s knee, a good warm-up regimen, limiting distance increases to 10% per week and wearing a compression brace such as the Sports Knee Support can help reduce your risk. At the first sign of pain, reduce your distance and increase your resting times to give your body time to heal.

Gradually getting used to running and giving your muscles, joints and ligaments enough time to adjust is key to preventing injury. 

  • Invest in good-fitting running shoes. A gait analysis can tell which shoe is right for you. 
  • Running insoles, such as the Run Performance Insoles, can help stabilize your feet and improve your running. 
  • Incorporate strength and stretching exercises in your training plan. 
  • Work on your running technique to keep the stress on your joints as low as possible. 
  • Increase running speed and distance only by 10% per week. 
  • Listen to your body: know the difference between soreness and pain. 
  • Wear a brace, such as the Sports Knee Support, in case of joint instability to increase proprioception and help prevent injury. 
  • Take time to recover.

While most running injuries can heal on their own, it’s best to prioritize rest and recovery based on the severity of the injury. Returning too soon can limit your performance, exacerbate the severity of the injury, and increase the risk of additional injuries.

Wearing a supportive brace, such as the Sports Knee Support for knee injuries, can help reduce joint pain and swelling, improve circulation and promote proprioception through targeted compression. With less joint discomfort and more stability, you can slowly return to running.

If your pain does not subside within a few days, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider to determine the most effective recovery plan.

If you’ve experienced knee injuries, joint pain or general instability, wearing a knee brace can make running more comfortable while reducing discomfort and the risk of injury.

The compression knit fabric used in Bauerfeind knee braces and supports enhances circulation and proprioception to offer less pain, swelling and instability while running. Certain knee braces, such as the Sports Knee Support, are specifically designed for runners and those with running-related injuries, offering targeted relief with breathable, lightweight and moisture-wicking materials.

Bauerfeind’s Sports Ankle Support and Sports Ankle Support Dynamic both provide stability and medical-grade compression to help protect your ankles from strain and injury. These supports fit comfortably inside running shoes and are breathable, lightweight and machine washable.

Medial tibial stress syndrome, also known as “shin splints,” is a common source of pain for many runners and athletes. It’s characterized by pain along the inner side of the lower leg, along the shin bone. Previous ankle injuries and ankle laxity are contributing factors to the development of shin splints.

In collaboration with runners and physical therapists, Bauerfeind’s Sports Ankle Support has been shown to provide effective relief from shin splints without limiting the athlete's training. Athletes participating in a clinical survey reported a significant decrease in pain relative to shin splints – from 7.8/10 to 1/10 within four weeks of wearing the brace. Combined with its compression knit fabric, the Sports Ankle Support’s figure-8 strap system provides adjustable stability without compromising the natural gait and range of motion necessary for running.

Most runners describe symptoms of SI joint pain as stabbing or dull lower back pain, typically on one side, which sometimes radiates into the gluteal or thigh area, making running feel tight and less fluid.

Bauerfeind's SacroLoc SI joint belt provides stability, relief and protection from recurring excessive strain. With circular compression and two height-adjustable massage pads, the SacroLoc delivers targeted relief to get you back to your training routine.

Yes, Bauerfeind’s running braces, compression supports and straps are machine washable. We recommend regularly washing them using cold/cool water in the gentle or delicate cycle before laying them 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 avoid using additives (such as fabric softener or Woolite), as this can damage the knit fabric.

For products with Velcro straps, fasten them securely as designed on the brace. For more information, please visit Bauerfeind’s Product Care Guide.

Yes, Bauerfeind’s braces and supports are eligible for reimbursement through most FSA (Flexible Spending Account), HSA (Health Savings Account) and HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) plans.
