Knee Braces

We offer the following types of knee braces:

• Prophylactic (say: pro-fi-lack-tick) braces. These aredesigned to protect knees from injuries during contact sports like football.
• Functional braces. These give support to knees that have already been injured.
• Patellofemoral (say: pa-tell-o-fem-or-all) braces. These help the kneecap move smoothly over the knee joint.

At Queen West Physiotherapy, we can provide a custom fitted knee brace for you. If you have had an ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tear or ACL surgery, or any other knee condition requiring a brace, please give us a call and we will be able to assess what type of brace is best for you. We can custom fit you with a brace right on our premises and can help you return to your sport or normal activities of daily living as quickly as possible.

Our braces provide ligament support with unrestricted movement within a prescribed range of motion. They can also provide pain reduction in the osteoarthritic knee (by unloading the medial or lateral compartment). We can provide a comfortable custom knee brace that is ready in a quick turnaround time.

Available in numerous colours, the braces are strong and lightweight and have Aerospace grade steel hinges with custom-formed thermal molded liners. Their low profile allows them to be worn discreetly under pants.

Our wide range of post-operative and rehabilitation knee braces provide the excellent fit, comfort and support for users. Post-operative braces allow initial immobilization of the knee joint and can easily be converted to allow a full range of motion. Our braces are easy to adjust, offering an accurate fit for individual patients. Brands of braces available include the DonJoy, Breg and several others.
