Bauerfeind Braces & Supports

Bauerfeind is a German manufacturer known for medical-grade braces, supports, and compression garments engineered for active recovery. Unlike the soft neoprene wraps you'll find at a pharmacy, Bauerfeind's signature Train series and Loc knitted supports use anatomically knitted fabric that flexes with movement while delivering targeted compression — the idea being that a joint recovers better when it keeps moving within safe limits rather than being immobilized.

The lineup spans the whole body: knee (GenuTrain), ankle (MalleoTrain), back (LumboTrain), wrist, elbow, and Achilles tendon supports, along with rigid orthoses for more serious injuries. Many designs incorporate viscoelastic pads that massage soft tissue as you move, helping reduce swelling and stimulate circulation around the affected area.

Choosing the right Bauerfeind product usually comes down to two things: the specific joint you're supporting and how much stabilization you need. Their compression knits are sized by circumference measurements rather than small/medium/large guesswork, so measuring the limb at the points specified on each size chart matters — a support that's too loose won't compress effectively, and one that's too tight restricts circulation. If you're managing a chronic condition, recovering post-surgery, or returning to sport, the level of structure (light compression versus a hinged brace) should match your stage of recovery.

Within this range you'll find specialized options such as the Bauerfeind AchilloTrain for Achilles tendon relief and the Bauerfeind Globoped for offloading the forefoot or heel. Browse the full collection to find the support matched to your injury, activity level, and fit.
