With our post-injury and post-surgery treatment programs, we may recommend using protective equipment to prevent injuries in the future. South Surrey residents can significantly benefit from equipment like knee braces, which can help with injury prevention or any other circumstance, including ACL instabilities, arthritis pain, etc. While several knee injuries can negatively impact your daily activities or athletic training, we offer equipment such as knee braces in South Surrey, which will help you recover quickly but also prevent you from injuring your knee in the future. Depending on your injury and lifestyle, our registered physiotherapists will recommend different kinds of protective and preventive equipment to you.
Our knee braces are helpful for injury prevention for many people- from athletes who rely on quick movements to those with minimal daily activities. They can help stabilize your knee, redistribute weight off your injured leg and prevent hyperextension of your knee. We also have equipment that provides total ligament support to protect your ACL, MCL, LCL and PCL from further injury. We have models designed to support your entire knee fully in post-operative and post-injury rehabilitation.
Short – Foot fracture/injuries : These supplies are meant to immobilize, protect, and support the affected foot during its healing. Typical supplies include walking boots, ankle braces, casts, and splints.
Extended ankle and lower leg injuries : These are used for the same purpose as short foot fractures, with additional supplies like crutches, canes, and compression stalkings. They offer stability to the fractured or injured area, helping in recovery.
Post-op rehab ROM knee brace : Supplies like these are appropriate for post-surgical rehabilitation, as they have adjustable hinges that offer support and strength while decreasing compression, redness, and swelling.
Unloader brace : Unloader braces are formed to relieve pain and are associated with osteoarthritis(OA), which causes pain and redness. By removing the burden, they help the knee joints by reducing the pressure from the affected area.
Custom stabilizing brace : These braces enhance support and stability and are used after injury or ligament damage. They are customized according to the patient’s needs. They aim to restrict unwanted movement, allowing joint functioning and simultaneously protecting joints.
Custom unloader brace : These braces function similarly to custom braces. Custom-made with straps and hinges, they focus on shifting the pressure from the injured area, reducing pain. They offer a more comfortable fit, helping to improve the condition of the injury.
Back/spinal injuries : As per the injuries’ severity, different braces provide support, balance, and stability, leading to faster recovery. Lumbar and TLSO are most widely used as they are supported for lower back pain.
Clavicle fracture : This brace resembles a figure eight and cradles the shoulders, stabilizing the fractured clavicle (collarbone) and promoting proper healing.
Postural training : These stocks remind us to maintain proper posture by offering resistance to slouching. They assist in improving posture and promote healthy practices.
Wrist injuries : Wrists splints are used to correct wrist injuries. They come in different designs and work as a pillar allowing for little movement during recovery. In some cases wrist casts are applied for a longer duration to help in recovery.
Thumb injuries : These are used in case of sprain, strains, or gatekeeper’s thumb to immobilize the thumb and might sometimes support wrists as well.
Stress fractures : Depending on the degree, walking boots or a cast may be needed to allow healing.
Ligament tears/sprains : The specific type of brace will depend on the location and severity of the ligament tear/sprain. Ankle braces, knee braces, or elbow braces offer varying degrees of support, compression, and sometimes immobilization to protect the joint and ligaments during healing.
