Sports braces
What is a sports brace?
Sports braces are devices used to support and protect joints and muscles during sports. They can be used to prevent, treat or rehabilitate injuries.
Types of sports braces
There are different types of sports braces, each with its own specific function. We list some of them for you below:
Stabilising braces
These braces provide support to a joint and help stabilise it. They are often used for joints that are prone to injury, such as the ankle, knee and shoulder.
Compression braces
These braces offer compression to a joint or muscle. They can help reduce pain and swelling.
Corrective braces
These braces are used to reduce movement complaints. These symptoms can be caused by incorrect posture or a shift in the joint. The brace pushes the joint back into the correct position.
What are these braces used for?
There are several purposes for which a sports brace can be used. Here are some of them:
- Injury prevention: Braces can help prevent injury by stabilising and protecting a joint or muscle.
- Treatment of injuries: They can be used to treat injuries by reducing pain and swelling and promoting recovery.
- Injury rehabilitation: These braces can be used to support a joint or muscle while rehabilitating an injury.

- Activity level: the brace should be comfortable and functional for the activities you want to perform.
