We are thrilled to feature perhaps the most cutting edge brace on the market, made from Bauerfeind in Germany.
Often times conventional braces while helpful are poorly tolerated and are too restrictive and heavy. They can unfortunately cause hip & back pain from being so heavy & changing the way we walk. Now there is a new solution…
Whether you experience pain in the knees, back, hands, elbows or shoulders, Bauerfeind Train supports are designed to restore mobility and improve performance. They are made from an anatomically knitted breathable fabric with visco-elastic inserts. As the joint moves, they provide a therapeutic massage and support. This stimulates the circulation and promotes the healing process. Whether you are a professional athlete or someone seeking a more active and healthy lifestyle, you will enjoy the quality, excellent wearing comfort and therapeutic effectiveness of the Train supports.
We have been finding that approximately 9/10 of our patients are thrilled with these braces for the knee, elbow, foot and ankle and back! Just another example how cutting edge therapies initially designed for elite athletes can benefit millions of patients with pain from everyday activities like walking and biking and staying active!
A study was done from Italy demonstrating clinical improvement in 16/20 male athletes who received a series of 3 prp injctions at 15 day intervals. They were followed up at 6 months. Interestingly 3 out of the 4 patients who failed to improve did not comply with the stretching & strengthening protocol following the injections.
I expect more & more professional athletes to receive not only PRP but stem cell based therapies to accelerate recovery, both as injections & while undergoing surgery.
Studies are underway measuring the clinical benefits on tendon, ligament & cartilage (arthritis) for both elite & recreational athlete. This is a great example of international collaboration!
