Dr. Ernst Otto Münch – Coach of the German national ski team
“I value the continuity of the participation from Bauerfeind. For every team doctor their 24 hour availability is outstanding. The service team is available by cell phone at all times and also provides treatment on location. Treatment with supports and orthoses is no longer a problem, even through the team’s medical product supply doesn’t cover all sizes and widths.”
Dr. Klaus Steinbach – Medical director of the Hochwald Clinic Weiskirchen and Head of the mission in Turin
“During the Olympic Games the medical, therapeutic and orthopedic care of Olympic teams is extremely important. Here, the absolute top athletes prepare for competition. This means that specialists in sports medicine, internal medicine, orthopedics and physical therapy are also here. And of course we also need the very best orthopedic technicians on our side. They must be familiar with a wide variety of treatment options, as is the case with Bauerfeind. This holds true not only for classic insole care and supports but also for the most modern measuring technique for special custom shoe overlays, compression stockings and similar products and it just doesn’t stop. We need the most innovative and modern technology and we are very pleased that we have Bauerfeind as our Olympic Partner”
Ursula Eder – Chief Physical Therapist at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin
“During the Games Bauerfeind is available for consultation around the clock. You can always call and help is always ready on the spot.
Also between the games a major continuity is seen – the Bauerfeind co-workers are always available, always ready for a new idea. And the working relationship between the doctors, physical therapists and the company is simply ideal. The company is uncannily close to the athletes and provides individualized care. They also go to great lengths for every athlete and really try to figure out the best solution for each one.”
Dr. Georg Huber – Head team physician at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin
“We come with our big bags and our excellent technical equipment for functional diagnostics, but only in a very controlled manner. Therefore the presence of Bauerfeind is noteworthy. We can’t wait until some idea works. We have to treat problems quickly and optimally. That’s where Bauerfeind comes in.”
Diana Sartor – European and world champion in skeleton 2004
“In 2001 I had a cruciate ligament operation and was treated with a GenuTrain from Bauerfeind. With it I was able to participate in the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. The support not only provided physical stabilization, it also gave me psychological support. Training after an injury is only possible when one has a overall feeling of stability.”
David Möller – 1st place at the 2004 World Championships, 1st place in the World Cup Overall Standings in luge (one man), and best German luger at the Olympic Games in Turin
“Due to a muscular imbalance I have recurring back pain. When my back is particularly strained I wear the back support LumboTrain for relief. This is especially the case in winter when I would miss out on athletic training.
The support function for the back has had a positive influence on my starting performance. Even when I don’t have any problems I wear LumboTrain because it relieves the back in many different situations.”
Anja Schneiderheinze – 2006 Olympic champion in Turin in the 2-woman bobsled
“I think it’s super that Bauerfeind offers this medical service. I know that when it comes to medical products, experts are on the job. That gives me a sense of security.
I also find the personal relationship great – it’s always nice and relaxed. They take the time to talk about the products and their applications.
The knowledge and good experiences gained from the care are then shared with other athletes.”
Nicole Herschmann – 5th place at the Olympic 2006 Games in Turin in the 2-woman bobsled
“It’s great when you know that you can simply make a phone call and your problems will be solved. This contact with Bauerfeind is great! I have problems with my Achilles tendon and already wear insoles preventatively. They are important to me, whether during training, endurance sports or free time. I’ve learned that the right insoles can save you from knee injuries.”
