Sports Braces & Supports for Performance & Injury Prevention

Whether you’re training regularly, returning after injury or aiming to protect your body during high-load sport, Bauerfeind sports braces deliver reliable, clinically informed support.

We work with some of the highest-performing athletes and organisations in Australia and internationally — including the Queensland Maroons, Wallabies, Matildas, Olympians and elite clubs across multiple codes. The same performance technology trusted by professionals is available to support your training, competition and recovery.

Train Harder. Recover Better. Play Longer.

Bauerfeind sports braces and supports combine medical-grade compression, stabilising elements and targeted gel pads to help:

• Improve joint stability during dynamic movement
• Reduce swelling and muscle fatigue
• Enhance proprioception and body awareness
• Support safer, more controlled movement patterns
• Help protect against common sports-related injuries

Whether you’re lifting, sprinting, jumping or logging long training sessions, Bauerfeind supports your body through every rep and stride.

Comfort That Lets You Focus on Performance

Made from lightweight 3D AirKnit® fabric, Bauerfeind sports supports offer:

• Breathable, moisture-wicking comfort
• Soft comfort zones to minimise irritation during movement
• Slimline designs that stay securely in place during high-intensity training

No slipping. No bunching. No distractions – just consistent, reliable support.

Engineered for a Precise Fit

A sports brace should feel like it’s made for your body. Bauerfeind’s extensive size range is based on data from more than 500,000 anatomical measurements, ensuring a precise, personalised fit. Accurate sizing improves comfort, stability and overall performance support.

Driven by Research. Proven by Athletes.

Every Bauerfeind sports support is developed in collaboration with clinicians, informed by medical research and manufactured to world-class German standards. The result is durable, high-performance support designed to withstand the demands of training and competition – season after season.

Find answers to the most common questions.

Can I wear these all day or just when I play?

Most of our Performance line is designed for wear during active movement rather than all day, while our main range (products ending in "Train" or "Loc") are better suited for injury management and all day wear, whether it's sports, exercise, work or just chores around the house. 

If you're unsure if the support you're looking at is ideal for all day wear, just give us a call on 1300 668 466.

Will these weaken my muscles?

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.

Can I wear these all day?

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. 

How do I take care of these products?

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.

Is there warranty for these products?

Every Bauerfeind product is crafted with precision and care and is covered by a manufacturing warranty in accordance with Consumer Law. Warranty periods may vary subject to product range. At any point if you've got issues with the product or aren't sure if something is wrong, just contact our helpful staff.

How do I know they'll fit?

Bauerfeind have an incredibly extensive sizing system for our products based off of hundreds of thousands of patient measurements. The perfect anatomic fit system we use means that the supports are designed to fit your body, not the other way around. (We also offer custom options for a range of our products for those rare few who still can't fit into our sizing range).
