DonJoy Performance

The roots of DonJoy Performance lie in the rich sports medicine history of DJO Global, the brand’s parent company. Founded as DonJoy in 1978 by Mark Nordquist, the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line captain, and Ken Reed, a local lawyer, the company started out designing and producing simple sleeves made of sewn-together neoprene that were pulled over the knee, ankle, and elbow joints for support.

Over the years, with massive medical research and development and exceptional technological innovation, DJO Global has grown to become the leader in orthopedics and orthopedic rehabilitation, offering over one thousand medical devices that help people throughout the entire continuum of care, from injury prevention to rehabilitation.

The DonJoy brand can be seen every day at the elite levels of sports, with bracing, compression, and protective solutions in athletic training rooms and on every field of play. The world’s top athletes, trainers and sports physicians have all come to trust DonJoy. Inspired by DonJoy technologies they employ in their sports every day—like Reaction Web, Playmaker and Defender Tape—we’re happy to introduce our new line of DonJoy Performance products, available directly to athletes everywhere through retail and online distribution.
