Baseball requires lots of dynamic and repetitive movement, leaving the body susceptible to overuse strain and injury. Throwing, catching, sprinting and sliding can all take a toll on the joints. A rolled ankle, pulled muscle, or the accumulation of these movements over time can take a player out of the game.
Bauerfeind’s medical-grade compression promotes healing blood flow and proprioception to reduce pain, swelling, and reinjury. Whether you are recovering from injury or trying to ensure your best performance, Bauerfeind’s braces and supports stabilize the joints without limiting mobility, so you can rely on your body to get you through the game.
