Golf Support

Golf is one of the most accessible sports, not requiring the same high physical standards and gruelling endurance of other competitive sports. However, it does still put strain on the body, especially the joints in your knees, wrists, elbows and shoulders, each time you swing the club. Rather than stopping the weekly trips to the course, many people find that golf supports can help to relieve pain, discomfort and aches and improve mobility.

Bauerfeind are well aware of this too, with a range of golf supports for any issue from head to toe, not only to alleviate the symptoms and issues caused by injury, but also improve your game and endurance, giving you stamina and focus from the first hole to the 36th.

 

Find answers to the most common questions.

How can I prevent or treat golf elbow?

Golf elbow, also called medial epicondylitis or lateral epicondylitis, is one of the most common golf injuries. The pain persists in the inside of the elbow due to the inflammation of the muscle and might spread to the forearm and wrist. To prevent this condition, we recommend using Sports Elbow Strap or Sport Elbow Support and the Sports Wrist Strap which will provide stability to the arm and allow you to make reliable shots. If you are already suffering from Golf elbow, we recommend using EpiTrain elbow brace or Sports Elbow Brace as it relieves the medical-grade compression relieves the pain and tension. You can also use the EpiPoint which provides targeted compression to the pain points, relieving Golf elbow pain.

 

Can golf cause lower backache and how to treat a golfers back pain?

If you pulled a back muscle and still want to continue playing golf, or if you want to prevent lower back pain caused by golf, we recommend using Bauerfeind Sacroloc back brace. The compression provides pelvic support, corrects your posture and relieves lower back ache. The special pads massage your back muscles during movement which promotes blood circulation aiding in muscle healing and treating pain.

How can I prevent shoulder injuries while playing golf?

It’s easy for golfers to injure their rotator cuff muscles which surround the ball and socket shoulder joint. Tendons and muscles tear up if you’re continuously hammering them whilst swinging strokes. Golf can cause rotator cuff injuries leaving your shoulder sore and affecting your performance. To avoid or treat shoulder injuries, we recommend OmoTrain shoulder brace which supports and stabilizes the rotator cuff muscles while maintaining the natural movement of the shoulder. The medical-grade compression activates the muscles by increasing the blood flow, allowing more oxygen to reach the shoulder area. This accelerates muscle regeneration and provides targeted pain relief.
