Do you have pain or feel unstable while walking, running, or sitting? Are you taking time off from work or an activity? Have you had a recent injury or fracture? Do you suffer from chronic pain, or frequent re-injuries? Do you have a job that requires repetitive work such as lifting, reaching, typing, pushing, or pulling? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a brace might be right for you. Bracing is an effective way to protect a joint during the rehabilitation program.
At PhysioCure, your therapist can fit you for a brace, help determine the right time to start wearing brace, how to choose the right brace, how to wear it, how long to wear it and when to stop using it.
