What is an Orthopedic Bracing Fitting Like?
One of our qualified brace fitters will assess your symptoms and recommend the brace to help you feel and function better. If you are already seeing one of our physiotherapists, they can fit you for a brace during one of your treatment sessions.
We will measure the body areas required depending on which brace you need. For example, if you need a knee brace, we measure your thigh, calf and leg length. We then send the order to our orthopedic bracing distributor.
Once the brace arrives, we will meet and show you how to correctly put it on and off. It will take a few days to get used to wearing the brace—it is supposed to feel tight as it’s stabilizing and supporting your joints and soft tissues.
Some of Our Orthopedic Bracing Options
Stay active and mobile with Bauerfeind® medical orthopedic bracing solutions. They are designed to provide a high comfort level with stretchy, breathable knitted fabric with elastic pressure cushions. They provide secure stability for the joints while massaging the soft tissues during movement, stimulating blood circulation and activating the muscles. And they have been proven to accelerate rehabilitation and provide increased levels of injury treatment.
GenuTrain Knee Brace
The new-and-improved GenuTrain provides secure support for mild instability and relieves knee pain and swelling.
With a new Omega+ pad, the support provides targeted stimulation to sensitive areas of the knee that influence pain perception and mobility. Its anatomically-contoured knitted fabric with a soft textured surface provides a gentle massage and activates the body’s proprioceptors to keep the support in place. GenuTrain is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, especially in the sensitive area in the back of the knee, for all-day wearing comfort.
