Premium Support Built for Any Racket Sport
Racket sports put repetitive, high-impact stress on your joints. Your elbow absorbs the shock of every serve, your wrist stabilizes each volley and dink, and your lower body drives constant pivots and split steps.
Left unsupported, that repetition adds up, which is why tennis elbow, wrist strain, and knee instability are among the most common complaints at every level.
Why Bauerfeind’s braces and supports are ideal for racket sports:
- Targeted compression relieves joint pain and swelling
- Improves proprioception (or joint awareness) during movement
- Breathable, lightweight, moisture-wicking materials for all-day comfort
- Low-profile, anatomical design for precise fit
Bauerfeind braces feature targeted compression and anatomically shaped pads that stabilize and relieve the joint without restricting your range of motion. Each support is designed to alleviate pressure at the precise point of strain, so you get effective, joint-specific support and more out of your performance.
Compression Built to Keep You Competing
Medical-grade support shouldn’t slow you down. It should help you move with more confidence.
Bauerfeind’s racket sports braces and compression wear boost circulation and proprioception, or your body’s sense of joint position and movement, so you react faster to every drop shot, lob, and lateral cut.
Better circulation leads to less muscle fatigue during long matches and faster recovery between them. Because every product is engineered for a full range of motion, you get support that works with your swing, your footwork, and your game — not against it.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply trying to compete without joint pain, Bauerfeind braces and compression wear help you feel more supported and confident so you can get more joy out of being active.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the most common injuries in racket sports?
Because of how each racket sport places repetitive strain on the forearm tendons, tennis elbow (or lateral epicondylitis) is one of the most common injuries.
Wrist strain, knee instability, and ankle sprains are also frequent, driven by the repetitive swinging and quick direction changes racket sports require.
Braces and supports for common racket sports injuries:
- Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow): Sports Elbow Support, EpiTrain
- Medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow): EpiTrain, Sports Elbow Support
- Knee strain/instability: Sports Knee Support, GenuTrain
- Acute wrist and hand injuries: ManuTrain, Sports Wrist Strap
- Lower back pain and strain: LumboTrain, Sports Back Support
- Rotator cuff injuries: OmoTrain, OmoTrain S
How to limit injuries while competing in racket sports?
While there’s no way to completely avoid injuries, a proper warm-up, proper footwork technique, and gradual increases in training intensity all help reduce the risk of injury in racket sports.
Wearing medical-grade support, like one of our braces for the elbow, wrist, knee, or ankle, can also help stabilize vulnerable joints during play and reduce strain from repetitive motion.
Are Bauerfeind racket sports supports FSA/HSA eligible?
Yes, many of Bauerfeind’s braces and supports for racket sports are eligible for reimbursement through most FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts) and HSAs (Health Savings Accounts). View our HSA/FSA-eligible products for more information.
Additionally, because FSA/HSA plans vary, we recommend contacting your employer or plan administrator to confirm eligibility and reimbursement before purchase.
Are Bauerfeind's braces and compression wear machine washable?
Bauerfeind’s braces and compression wear are machine washable, and we recommend washing them regularly in cold/cool water on the gentle or delicate cycle, then laying them flat to air-dry, as this will help maintain their fit, comfort, and effectiveness.
Please do not tumble dry or iron.
It’s fine to wash with regular laundry detergent, but please avoid additives (such as fabric softener or Woolite), as they can damage the brace’s compression knit fabric.
