Protect yourself
Sports Back Support
“I love this back brace. I wear it under my t-shirt at the gym, and you can't even notice it. It gives my back excellent support while training and reduces strain and back pain.” - Michael A.
An added benefit of compression supports is that they reduce injury risk. Remember, no one is invincible. Sprains, strains, tears, and disk displacement get even the best athletes off the court or field.
Some of the most irritating injuries occur when the major muscles give way and other tissues - like the tendons, ligaments, and minor muscles - have to pick up the slack. But through increasing your endurance, proprioception, awareness and control, you can avoid them.
Not to mention, they can also minimise the effects of DOMs!
For injury recovery
Sports, professions with repetitive movements, and even walking on an uneven footpath can do some damage. While our bodies can achieve amazing things and adapt quickly, no one is immune to injury.
Injuries can be tricky. What starts as a slight niggle you can easily ignore can quickly turn into an unstable ligament or a chronic case of tendonitis. On top of that, certain injuries can come back again and again. So, it’s essential to take the time to heal right.
First response
At the first sign of injury, RICE. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation will help kickstart recovery and reduce inflammation. You should also go see a clinician ASAP - especially if the initial pain makes movement difficult, you see a lot of bruising, or you feel symptoms worsening.
Next, protect the injury site. Our braces relieve pressure on the injury site through compression, anatomic stays, or both, letting you keep using the joint without risking reinjury. They’ll also relieve pain and help you feel more stable as you resume daily activities.
ManuTrain
“After tearing two ligaments in my wrist 12 months ago, things were pretty bleak. As a golfer, a wrist injury is a nightmare. After taking 3 months off the game, I started playing again, using a widget around my wrist that came from the hand specialist. Whilst this did help, it didn't offer much support and I was looking for something that would offer more protection when playing golf when I found the ManuTrain Wrist Support. I was also recovering from tennis elbow at the time so decided to purchase the EpiTrain Elbow Brace and the ManuTrain Wrist support together and they have been game changers. Not only does the wrist support enable me to play pain-free, but I also think the pressure pad that sits over the injured area has actually helped heal the tear in the ligament, focusing pressure on the affected area. I can't recommend this product highly enough - the best money I have spent in a long time.” - Gavin H.
Keep it moving!
And it is essential that, after a period of rest, you keep exercising that injured body part. A prolonged recovery can result in muscle weakness, stiffness, and even worse pain. Fortunately, you won’t need to grit your teeth and push through your physio’s rehab routine. The support offered by braces like the ManuTrain and GenuTrain S will reduce pain levels and improve control, helping you feel more stable, comfortable, and confident. Your brace will also boost circulation, facilitating recovery. And it will accompany you as you get into more challenging exercises and rebuild your muscles.
So even for a pro athlete, injury doesn’t have to be the end!
For chronic pain management
It happens to the best of us! A nerve gets nicked during shoulder surgery, scar tissue starts interfering with nerve activity, or the knee cartilage starts giving way due to wear and tear, and you’re stuck with chronic pain.
Unfortunately, it can be extremely difficult to get around with pain getting in the way. So, many of us drop our regular fitness routines and even start giving up on physiotherapy exercises. The pain is there to tell us to stop, right?
Mobility matters
Well, while a certain rest period can be good after surgery (depending on your doctor’s advice), current research says it’s essential to get up and moving ASAP. Similarly, those with degenerative conditions like arthritis should not just avoid moving the affected body part. In fact, regular exercise relieves pain through the release of endorphins and by increasing muscle strength and reducing tension. It’s also long been established that exercise is essential for cartilage health since it’s avascular tissue and gets its nourishment partly from circulating synovial fluid. As with vascular tissues like tendons, movement helps synovial nutrients cycle into the cartilage faster.
The key is to modify what you do, keep exercise consistent, and protect yourself!
Brace yourself
Our braces and supports are designed to relieve pain, offload pressure, and stimulate the muscles into action. Designed with comfort and durability in mind, they’ll help you feel better and do more - for however long you’ll need them.
For the early stages of arthritis, the GenuTrain A3 Brace can be a great option to help relieve some of that morning stiffness and inflammation. By massaging the knee during movement and activating your muscles better, the support can also help you feel more stable, comfortable, and confident as you go on a walk or just do chores around the house.
Additionally, it’s important to note that arthritis is a progressive condition. Without sufficient support and management, your cartilage will continue to wear away faster, and your symptoms will likely worsen.
GenuTrain A3
“Very happy with my A3 knee brace. I have a very bad arthritic knee & suffer from a lot of pain, the brace gives me a lot of support & does relieve some of my pain. I love the cushioning around the kneecap and especially down the inside of the knee. It is very well made with quality fabric and best of all it doesn’t ride down your leg & doesn’t scrunch up behind the knee which was a big problem with others that I have tried. Best investment I’ve made & well worth the price. I received the brace within just 3 days of ordering it.” - Deb B.
