WHY SHOULD YOU WEAR A KNEE BRACE WHEN RUNNING?
Uneven surfaces and fatigue carries a risk of injury for runners. In addition, with every step on the ground, biomechanical forces act on your knee joint putting pressure.
To relieve this pressure and prevent knee injuries, we recommend wearing Bauerfeind knee braces and compression supports.
Some runners also suffer from unstable ligaments and tendons, or inflammation of the kneecap, known as Runner's knee.
To prevent runner’s knee, we recommend stretching before your runs, performing knee strengthening exercises and wearing a protective brace such as Genutrain or Sports Knee Support.
The omega pad in our Genutrain massages the patella tissue to relieve knee pain and promote muscle regeneration for fast recovery after your run.
To treat runner’s knee conditions, we recommend GenuTrain P3 for kneecap relief. The P in P3 stands for patella. This knee brace is specifically designed to target the patella.
The muscle relaxation pad relaxes the iliotibial muscle and minimizes strain which helps with IT Band syndrome.
The patella pad provide patella-tracking which improves proprioception and helps joint stability.
Protect your joints so you can enjoy your next marathon, 10k, 5k, bushwalk or trail run.
