Bracing is an adjunct to many physiotherapy treatment plans. Braces can be very valuable play a valuable role in your recovery by:

• allowing the appropriate tissue to rest in order to facilitate healing
• provide stability to enable you to safely and in some instances more quickly return to your sport or work
• improve proprioception from the injured body part to increase your awareness of the injured area

Sometimes your surgeon may request bracing either post operatively or as a trial instead of surgery. For example, there are braces on the market that delay knee joint replacement by unloading the painful side of your knee, reducing pain and improving function.

Infinity has access to a wide variety of braces, most commonly: tennis elbow straps, wrist and thumb braces, lumbar supports, knee and ankle braces. We can size you for off the shelf bracing as well as measure you for customized knee braces. These braces are most commonly required in a knee ligament injury and are covered by most extended health plans.
