When your hip is injured, affected by disease or other issues, each step can cause not only pain and discomfort, but aggravate the problem over time. Whether you've got some pain or stiffness from arthritis, a sore joint after a fall or injury, or there's a more serious issue at play, wearing a hip brace works to alleviate the pain and discomfort felt while also stabilising the joint to reduce the ongoing strain and deterioration of the hip.

While cheaper and less effective braces can cause an issue known as reliance (where the muscles become weaker and rely on the brace), Bauerfeind have perfected the blend of stability and movement. By restricting or immobilising specific parts of the ankle that need it, and freeing up the rest, you can continue to exercise, building and maintaining strength in the joint.

Virtually all our medical supports are designed to be worn for any length of time, whether it's half an hour after exercise to recover the muscle, or first thing in the morning to last thing at night. 

Virtually all of our products can be machine washed on a cold gentle cycle and air dried out of direct sunlight. Putting them on and taking them off carefully is recommended, and for specific product care, refer to the product manual or contact our friendly staff.

All supports and insoles come with a 12 month warranty, and compression stockings with a 3 month warranty for any manufacturers faults. At any point if you've got issues with the product or aren't sure if something is wrong, just contact our helpful staff.
