Hip Braces

One of the best ways to effectively manage pain and mobility for those with hip problems is hip braces. Whether it's arthritis, fracture or even dysplasia, wearing a hip support can make all the difference.

Bauerfeind have spent the better part of 90 years developing supports and braces to fit each and every part of the anatomy, and the hip is chief among them. Wearing a hip support brace ensures you're protected from further injury while also helping you to recover from your current woes.

Why do I need a hip brace?

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.

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.

What is the warranty for these products?

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.

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).
