Bauerfeind Physical Therapist - Erin Grigsb

Whether your goal is return to training for your next marathon or simply get back to your daily jogging routine, recovering from common running injuries can be a challenge. Experiencing a painful injury—whether it’s a sprain, strain, knee cap tracking problems or runner’s knee—doesn’t have to keep you from living your passion every day.

Bauerfeind GenuTrain Line for Running Image

Bauerfeind’s Train line of braces and supports feature a soft, precision-fit knit that provides medical grade compression to reduce pain and swelling that works together with strategically placed viscoelastic inserts that provide ultimate shock absorption and pain-relieving massage right where you need it.

Watch the videos below to learn more about how Bauerfeind can help you achieve your goals with less pain and more stability.

Best Knee Supports For Runners

GenuTrain – Antomically shaped to stay in place throughout your run, this knee support feels like a second skin while supporting your patella and relieving pain in the meniscus.

Best Ankle Supports For Runners

MalleoTrain – Ankle feeling unstable? This ankle sleeve provides medical grade compression to increase proprioception, or body awareness, so you can be confident in your step throughout your run.

MalleoTrain S – With the same soft, durable knit as MalleoTrain, the MalleoTrain S has an added semi-rigid strap that uses the same method as athletic tape for even greater stability. Unlike athletic tape, MalleoTrain S is easier on the skin, retains its shape and is quick and simple to put on yourself.
