Image of Sports Back Support in Action

Relieves and stabilizes back muscles during activity. 

Bauerfeind Sports Academy engineers and elite athletes combined to help advance Bauerfeind’s innovative designs specifically for the athlete. Enhancing performance, improving circulation, stimulating regeneration, better self-confidence and reducing injuries were the driving concepts. In addition, comfort, breathability and durability all came together to create the perfect sports brace.

Stimulates Muscles and Improves Posture

Combining its compression knit and soft pad, the Sports Back Support provides an intermittent massage while actively targeting trigger points and alleviating pain. The support also stimulates the lower back muscles to enhance proprioception, which leads to an improved posture.

Breathable, Low-Profile and Lightweight AirKnit

Not only does the Sports Back Support’s AirKnit fabric provide intermittent compression, but it also allows the lower back support to be breathable, low-profile and lightweight, which is ideal when wearing it for exercise. It can be worn underneath or over athletic clothing and is moisture-wicking to provide an even more comfortable feel during activity.

Easy to Wear and Wash

In addition to its wearing comfort, the Sports Back Support is easy to put on and stays securely in place during activity due to its Velcro closure at the front of the support. The lower back support is machine-washable in the gentle cycle, helping to maintain its original fit and durability for long-term use.

Quality and Issue Handling

I have bought a lot of Bauerfeind products including elbow, ankle, knee. And the back support is the latest to my list. I never had any issue and I really like them. However, it just happened recently that one of the straps of the gel pad of the back support doesn't work. I contacted the customer service and I do recommend using the chat version of it. Andrea was very helpful to ask a series of questions and now I am enjoying a brand new back support and I will be trouble free to lift heavy items from now on.

Sports Back Support belt

I've undergone three back fusions, but have not given up engaging in sports. The Bauerfeind Sports Back Support is effective in eliminating my back pain, making it possible for me to play tennis. This belt is the lightest and the least extreme of Bauerfeind's back belts, but it is very effective and so flexible and comfortable that it seems to become a part of one's body within a few minutes. It can be worn under clothing, is washable, dries quickly, and is very well made. I have owned almost every back support product on the market and the Bauerfeind Sports Back Support is among the best that I've found. Excellence, however, does come at a price. In this case, it is worth it!

Great product

I was having lower back pain on my right side. Not sure if it was muscle or nerve related. I used this brace and within a couple days I had significant relief. When I took it off, the problem flared up again. I pretty much wore it for over a month for most of the day except sleeping/showering and now I have gone a few days without wearing it and my back isn't bothering me. I think it gave my back a chance to heal itself. You really can't go wrong with any product from Bauerfeind.

Flexible but Supportive

Allows me to do "my thing". I ride horses and have had a couple bad falls. I have slipping at L2/L3 and scoliosis but that really doesn't change my feelings about riding. You play with pain. This brace is excellent. The Lumbotrain is too bulky and only transfer the pain elsewhere and the lose inflexibility is not safe. My only regret is I bought too small a size to go over clothes. Buy up one size.

Recommended by a friend

A friend recommended this brace to me for the lower back pain I have periodically. It was quite expensive but the feeling of pain is almost gone. The pad on the brace massages where it hurts and the knit fabric is breathable. I like the quality - worth the money

Comfortable, but does an amazing job of support

I have mild lumbar scoliosis and slipping at L4/L5. All of this is likely related to years of riding horses and a couple of bad falls. Yet it is my passion and I don't want to take drugs to combat the pain. This back support allows me to enjoy my sport and yet have a comfortable back. I have used the Bauerfeind Lumboloc, which also does a good job, but it is very rigid and uncomfortable and the end result is no better than Sports Back Support. I have also tried the Sacroloc which only made my back feel worse and was not compatible with riding.

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.
