Sports Braces – Performance & Protection

Sports Supports & Braces for Training, Performance & Injury Prevention

Whether you’re lifting, running, jumping or competing, the right sports brace or compression support can make training safer, more controlled and more effective. Bauerfeind sports supports combine medical-grade technology trusted by elite athletes with performance-focused design to support everyday training – from running knee braces to wrist supports for lifting.

Support Built for Sport

Our sports braces and compression sleeves are engineered to support confident movement and reduce injury risk during physical activity. Each support is designed to:

• Improve joint stability during high-impact and dynamic movements
• Reduce strain from repetitive loading and training volume
• Support circulation and muscle activation through medical-grade sports compression
• Minimise muscle vibration and fatigue to support endurance
• Assist common sports-related injuries such as sprains, tendon irritation and muscle tightness

Lightweight, Breathable & Made to Perform

All Bauerfeind sports supports are made using our advanced 3D AirKnit® fabric, developed specifically for training environments. Lightweight, moisture-wicking and breathable, it delivers firm support without restricting movement. Integrated silicone traction zones help each brace stay securely in place during sprints, jumps and agility-based training.

Anatomical Fit You Can Rely On

Each sports support is shaped to natural anatomy using data from more than 500,000 individual measurements worldwide. This ensures a precise, comfortable fit across a wide range of activities – whether you’re wearing a running knee brace, sports ankle support, thigh sleeve or wrist support for lifting.

Trusted Technology for Every Level of Sport

Bauerfeind works closely with professional athletes, high-performance teams and sports clinicians to continually refine its designs. The result is durable, reliable sports supports that help reduce strain, support recovery and promote confident movement – whether you’re competing at an elite level or just getting started.

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.

What's the benefit of compression?

Medical-grade compression levels are in the “sweet spot” for improving circulation and removing lactic-acid and other fluid build up. Unlike most other 'active wear' and retail compression available in Australia (that are not gradient and provide much lower grade compression), Bauerfeind compression is true medical grade.

How long do they last?

Bauerfeind's high quality construction and design mean that all of our products go the distance, especially when cared for properly. Below is a rough outline of how long products last before they start to lose their effectiveness over time.

Compression Stockings - 6 to 9 months of daily wear

Braces & supports - 1 to two years of daily wear

Insoles - 9 to 12 months of daily wear

It's important to note that this is a rough guideline, and each person's usage and general care can change the longevity of the product either way

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).
