Had one of these for years

Truly one of the best support manufacturers in the world. I was turned onto them years ago versus surgery to repair a chronically poor elbow. I love the newer version with better support.

Good for tennis elbow

Felt some discomfort at first as brace pressed against my elbow but it let me play tennis without any pain. I recommend it for people suffering from tennis elbow.

Great elbow support

I have epichondritis in my elbow and this brace is a lifesaver. It provides stability to minimize pain and it is very comfortable to wear. Plus it's a pretty color instead of the typical ugly beige of medical wraps.

Golfer's elbow relief!

Received the Bauerfeind Sports Elbow Support to relieve severe pain - "Golfer's Elbow". Support fits great (follow measuring directions) - because of it's great design I can wear it for long periods (under a dress shirt) without any discomfort. The plan is try it out on the driving range this week - will update review later in the summer.

Compression is good, not tight

This is great. I wear it while bowling. I misplaced my other one (which I eventually found) so bought this one. The compression is good but not tight. Make sure you measure and get the right size.

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.
