Relieves Achilles tendon pain, swelling and inflammation

With its improved design and features, the new AchilloTrain ankle brace provides enhanced relief of Achilles tendon pain, swelling and inflammation to help you continue to live an active lifestyle. Its updated massage pad uses a functional design and intermittent compression to stimulate circulation and massage the Achilles tendon area from the Achilles tendon insertion up to the muscle-tendon-junction.

The AchilloTrain’s medical-grade compression knit promotes healing and improves proprioception (sense of joint position and movement). The two optional heel pads reduce mechanical stress and raise the heel for additional Achilles tendon relief.

Ideal for use during movement and activity

Because the AchilloTrain is designed for use during movement and activity, its anatomically contoured Train knit fabric and viscoelastic massage pad move as you move for premium support. Its low-profile design fits in closed-toe shoes, and its high-quality, durable materials are machine-washable for enhanced longevity.

All-day wearing comfort and simple donning/doffing

The AchilloTrain improves wearing comfort with pressure-reduced edges and an instep comfort zone in its breathable, lightweight and moisture-wicking Train knit fabric. From its fabric to its massage pad and heel wedges, the AchilloTrain is designed to conform to the natural shape of the foot, ankle and Achilles tendon for everyday wearing comfort. The brace’s new integrated donning aid helps ease and simplify donning and doffing.

GAVE ME A NEW LIFE

This product has been a game-changer for me, providing a new lease on life after a decade-long struggle with recurring insertional Achilles tendinopathy. Since the initial injury in my mid-20s, I have been seriously struggling to get back to high-intensity training. Every time I try to increase the intensity and load on my injured heel, it flares up again, and I have to rest for at least a few days to recover, and training goes back to point zero. Recently, I finally started working with a physio to resolve the issue. While the exercises I've been doing with my physio certainly helped delay the flare-up during my exercise, it still came back at some point. I was really disappointed and started looking for an additional solution. Fortunately, I found this product online and decided to give it a go (albeit its high price) after reading some positive reviews from people who had a similar struggle. Oh boy, I am so glad that I did! This brace was the last piece of the puzzle. Somehow it just works. I do not get those terrible flare-ups after extended high-intensity exercises. I still get a little bit of pain after each training session, but it's nothing compared to what I used to feel, and the little pain goes away much quicker too. I bought two of these. If one of them wears out too much at some point, I will buy another one, just to be safe.

Great while it lasts-- Not durable enough

This is an excellent product while it lasts. I tore my Achilles on my right foot in 2018 and had surgery to repair it. I started playing basketball again, but there was still a bit of sensitivity and soreness. I started using one of these on the foot I tore my Achilles on in 2021 and I don't feel a thing when playing. I get full support with this, along with supportive shoes (Lebron 16s) and some good Dr. Sholl's. This year I purchased another one of these for my left foot (the one I didn't tear my Achilles with) because I started feeling soreness at times. So now I have full support on both and it helps tremendously. The problem is, however, these do not last as long as they should. The 2nd one I bought I had to get replaced under warranty because it started falling apart. And the original one I bought in 2021 is started to come apart now. Bauerfein customer service was good in sending me a new one for the one I bought this year, but the other one isn't under warranty anymore. I don't consider a product lasting 2 years to be good enough, especially when you are paying $125 for it. So this product only gets 3 stars.

Worth every penny

I strained both Achilles last year playing 3 softball games in 4 hours (too much for this mid-40's girl!). My right one even had some minimal tearing. I was out for 6 weeks. I bought the compression sleeves, the neoprene wraps, a stretching strap, I had a runner every time I got on base. It all helped in its own little way, but my right Achilles still continued to give me trouble and I worried about playing ball this year. After lots of searching, I came across this and I gotta say, the price gave me pause, but I figured, what the hell... and I am so glad I did! It gives the amount of support that none of those sleeves/wraps could quite get. It's worth it. It really is.

Good product, but only lasted a year

I purchased this brace last year when I started having trouble with my achilles on my right foot. I didn't really use that product consistently throughout the year, and I did follow the care instructions. Unfortunately the top part tore, and now it looks as if the product is out of warranty so it cannot be replaced. Very disappointed with the warranty as this was an expensive product - but when used is a effective solution to the issue I was having with my achilles.

Very good brace

I have had Haglund's Deformity for 20 years . Had surgery on the right foot . But did not have it on the left . It was a terrible long recovery from surgery . Anyway I bought this brace and it's very good . I wear it for work with my orthotics . No pain whatsoever. I even started playing softball again after retiring for 14 years . It helps but still a little pain . But I give it 5 Stars overall for the reason of being painless in my everyday life of working and walking .

Where has this been all my life!

I ran a 10k weeks ago and struggled due to my archilles acting up. This gentleman came up to me as he noticed me struggling. He recommended me to this company. Great recommendation! I tried others without success, so broke down and ordered the archillies train pro. Very comfortable, the compression is not too tight or loose. In the past, When I would flex my foot, charley horse on my archillies. I flex it with this sock and the compression basically massaged my tendon. Wore it today, while I ran my first 1/2 marathon and worked well. Did not struggle with my foot. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but worth every penny.

Finally pain free

Thank you so much for this excellent product. I was playing tennis with so much pain until my physio recommended I purchase this brace. I want everyone to know that i could play immediately with no pain and now after six months I can play without the brace; it is an amazing product.

Fits with sneakers but not great with dress shoes

I have haglunds and tried some cheaper braces. I finally ordered this achillotrain and wish I had it from the beginning. It has relieved pain and allows we to do other activities again. It is a little bulky so I cannot wear it with slim shoes like dress sheos but works fine with other shoes.

Truly pain free

was wearing the cam boots on both legs due to side effects of Levaquin (antibiotic) which cause Achilles Tendinitis in both of my ankles and acute pain I could bearly walk. The cam boots were so heavy that it strain my left knee. My Doctor wouldn't allow me to wear the cam boots anymore. Was given a prescription for Achillo Train but my insurance didn't cover this item. So I waited a week and my ankles got worst. Finally I decided to buy the Achillo Train even though they were so expensive. I'm so glad I did buy them. They absolutely work. No pain while moving around. I also bought the Dorsal Night Splint to wear in bed. I am pain free and healing.

GenuTrain® - Knee Brace
Knee support for active stabilization and targeted pain relief The new-and-improved GenuTrain provides secure support for mild instability and relieves knee pain and swelling. With a new Omega+ pad, the support provides targeted stimulation to sensitive areas of the knee that influence pain perception and mobility. Its anatomically-contoured knitted fabric with soft textured surface provides gentle massage and activates the body’s proprioceptors to keeps the support in place. 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. GenuTrain is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, especially in the sensitive area in the back of the knee, for all-day wearing comfort. 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. GenuTrain’s uniquely-engineered design activates the body’s own stabilization mechanisms: Its soft knitted fabric is anatomically-contoured and texturized 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. GenuTrain’s new-and-improved Omega+ pad protects and encases the kneecap, stabilizing the joint and massaging the surrounding tissue during movement. This feature enhances the pain-relieving and sensorimotoric effect of the support 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, providing additional selective stimuli during movement to counteract unnatural corrective habits. 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 so it does not slip. Donning and doffing aids integrated into the stays make it easier to put the support on and take it off. Thanks to compression-reduced edges and a soft, airier knitted comfort zone in the hollow of the knee, GenuTrain is comfortable to wear, even during longer periods of intensive movement during the day.
