Movement as Part of Who You Are
Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi: Succeeding in professional sports with Bauerfeind products
Laura and Deborah are professional bobsled athletes for whom movement is an essential part of life. “For me, movement is more than just my job. It’s part of who I am,” says Laura. Deborah expresses her mindset just as clearly: “Movement means freedom to me.” For both of them, movement is about much more than sport. It represents joy, freedom, and mental clarity. At the same time, they know the physical toll their sport can take due to extreme strain on the body. Learn how Bauerfeind products provide them with stability, confidence, and renewed strength and what you can take away for managing your own discomfort.
Support in every movement
In bobsledding, the body is exposed to tremendous forces. Laura explains: “In our sport, the knee is unfortunately under a lot of stress.” Deborah mainly feels it in her back: “For me, it’s my back. Especially with the intense G-forces during a run, it takes quite a beating.”
After suffering a herniated disc injury, Deborah pays close attention to her back: “Since my injury, I regularly wear a back brace because it gives me an additional sense of stability during strength training and intense sprint sessions.”
Laura supports her knee in a targeted way: “Since my cartilage changes, I regularly wear a knee support during training. It stabilizes the joint and gives me confidence, especially during the push start.”
What you can do
You may recognize similar physical strain in your everyday life: knee osteoarthritis, recurring back pain, or venous weakness in your legs. Orthopedic supports can be an important component in relieving discomfort and helping you return to movement.
Have your symptoms evaluated by a medical professional, especially if pain is severe or persistent. You can also seek professional advice on Bauerfeind braces, orthotics, and compression stockings at a medical supply store.
Move with Bauerfeind: Take action now to improve your quality of life and gradually rebuild trust in your body.
More confidence in your body
Deborah puts it simply:
“Especially after an injury, you tend to lose some trust in your own body. The brace, the compression, and your recovery routines help restore a sense of stability and confidence. Because if you don’t trust your body, you can’t perform.”
This effect is no coincidence. Bauerfeind products are medically tested in clinical studies and designed to stabilize joints, improve circulation, and distribute strain more effectively. The fact that they are an integral part of Laura’s and Deborah’s daily routines in elite sport shows how reliably they perform under maximum demands. Since orthopedic supports can only help when worn consistently, comfort plays a key role. Breathable materials, precise anatomical fits, and a comfortable feel against the skin make it easier to wear them regularly. In this way, you support your body not just in the short term, but build long-term confidence in every movement.
The products are part of our training, our competitions, and our recovery. As invisible support, they keep us moving every day.

What connects them is more than speed. It is trust: in each other, in precise processes, and in every detail that provides stability in decisive moments. True performance emerges where seamless teamwork and reliable physical support work together perfectly.
