As the Official Compression and Supports Supplier of Rugby Australia, Bauerfeind is proud to support the Wallabies, Wallaroos and Australian Sevens teams with premium compression and support solutions designed to help athletes prepare, perform and recover.
Whether you’re training for your next game, chasing a personal best or simply staying active, discover how the principles used by elite athletes can help you move with greater confidence every day.
PREPARE LIKE THE WALLABIES
PERFORMANCE BEGINS BEFORE YOU COMPETE
The best performances don’t happen by chance – they’re built through smart preparation.
Elite athletes spend just as much time preparing their bodies as they do training. A proper warm-up, good mobility and the right support help activate muscles, improve confidence and prepare the body for movement.
No matter your sport or activity, taking a few extra minutes to prepare can make all the difference.
THE RUGBY AUSTRALIA PREPARATION PRINCIPLES
• Prime your body – Activate key muscle groups before every session.
• Move with purpose – Build mobility through dynamic movement, not static stretching.
• Support where it matters – Use compression and braces to improve confidence and stability.
• Progress with intent – Increase intensity gradually to prepare for peak performance.
• Recover to perform again – Consistency starts with quality recovery.

RECOVERY IS PART OF THE GAME
Recovery doesn’t start the next morning – it starts the moment training ends.
Professional athletes prioritise recovery to help reduce muscle fatigue, stay ready for the next session and maintain consistent performance throughout the season.
Simple habits such as movement, hydration, stretching and compression all play an important role in helping your body recover after activity.
Whether you’ve just wrapped up a Test match, completed a tough gym session, a long run or a weekend game, giving your body the attention it deserves helps you perform again tomorrow.

UNDERSTANDING COMPRESSION
WHY ELITE ATHLETES TRUST BAUERFEIND COMPRESSION
Others followed. We pioneered. Since 1929, Bauerfeind has been setting the benchmark in medical-grade compression. Feel the difference from your very first session.
GERMAN ENGINEERED
Compression has become a staple in elite sport – and for good reason.
Medical-grade compression helps support muscles and joints while promoting comfort during activity and recovery. Depending on the product, it may also help reduce muscle vibration, improve proprioception (your body’s awareness of movement) and support healthy circulation. Many theories about the benefits of compression, we actively achieve these with our products. Our typical product cycle and launches take 7-10 years given the in-depth R&D and actual technology progression that you will feel as soon as you try our products.
The same technology trusted by Australia’s elite rugby players can also benefit runners, gym-goers, hikers, golfers, cyclists and anyone looking to stay active.
