Braces
During the process of healing, your therapist may suggest that you wear a brace, to support your joints and relieve the stress on your muscles. We use a combination of high-grade medical braces and professional strapping and splinting techniques to give you support exactly when and where you need it most during your treatment schedule. Some braces can help restrict the range of movement of a joint that is unstable from injury, for example.
Sports Braces
Sports braces are extremely effective in stabilizing joints during recovery and enabling you to return to the sports you love with confidence. (You may have seen top tennis pros wearing knee braces in returning from injury, so they can play without risking damaging their muscles again.) A sports-related injury will require a specific type of sport brace especially made for that type of injury.
Custom Braces
Custom Braces are simply devices worn to support your joints and muscles that are properly fitted. This type of brace can help restrict the range of movement on joints made unstable by injury or help to “unload” a part of a joint that is painful due to conditions such as osteoarthritis or meniscal injuries.
