Bracing Solutions

Are you having knee pain with walking, getting around the golf course, or getting through your gardening for the day? At SOS Physiotherapy, we provide custom bracing and Orthopedic supplies. We also carry a wide variety of wrist, knee, and ankle braces, along with foam rollers and other useful products to support your rehabilitation processes.

Custom Knee Bracing

**NEW PRODUCT!**
Springloaded
The Spring Loaded OA Knee brace provides multi-compartment unloading through knee joint extension assistance. This assists in symptoms associated with multi-compartment/patellofemoral knee osteoarthritis (OA). The Spring Loaded brace uses mechanical springs to actively assist patients into extension, which can also assist patients that have extensor mechanism defects such as quad weakness/quad tendon/patellar tendon issues.

Ossur Unloader One/ One X
The Unloader One is designed to relieve knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. This brace utilizes a 3 point leverage system combined with a single hinge to provide unilateral unloading of the knee joint.

Ossur Rebound DUAL
The Rebound DUAL is indicated for combined and non-combined instabilities of the Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), Medical collateral ligament (MCL), Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).

Ossur CTi
The CTi is a rigid carbon-fiber frame that provides optimal protection and stabilization of the knee joint.

Knee Braces

At SOS Physiotherapy, we have multiple styles of hinged wrap or sleeve knee braces that offer support for ligament and meniscal sprains and strains, mild knee instabilities, and gentle support for osteoarthritis. These braces are fully adjustable, breathe freely, and offer patella or knee-cap support to control where it counts. Light rigid hinges add extra control against rotational movements and uneven terrain.
Some of our most popular options in clinic include:
– Ossur Pro Knee Sleeve for swelling or light support
– Ossur Formfit Tracker for kneecap tracking after dislocations
– Ossur Rebound – hinged knee stability

Patella Tendon Straps

These braces are often used to treat “Jumper’s Knee”. They work by applying pressure to the tendon to help alleviate pain. They are a soft, nylon material that breathe well and adhere nicely to different contours of the knee joint. Easily adjustable with a velcro strap.

Ankle Braces

The Formfit Ankle Brace with Speedlace

Provides stability and protection for the ankle for chronic instability or following an injury. Its low profile, quick-lace design is comfortable and fits easily into shoes. Removable semi-rigid stays provide additional support and the Figure 8 straps are designed for inversion/eversion control. The Speedlace allows for quick application and removal. Best used for mild to moderate ligament sprains, chronic instability or prophylactic use.

Wrist Braces

The Spectra wrist brace is designed to immobilize the wrist at a neutral angle. Its single-pull lacing closure makes it easier to apply than a conventional wrist brace, meeting the needs of patients with arthritis, mild tendonitis, or mild to moderate wrist sprains and strains, carpal tunnel injury.

Össur Formfit® Pro Wrist is a lightweight, compressive wrist sleeve for people suffering from chronic wrist pain, overuse injuries, sprains and strains, and Rheumatic Arthritis (RA).

Elbow Braces

The BandIT: Tennis Elbow Brace

Designed by an orthopedic surgeon & sports medicine specialist. Easily Customize the fit by gently squeezing or flattening the plastic plates. By compressing across the flexor, extensor and supinator muscles, BandIT turns normal forearm activity into a pump action that aids in the relief of tennis elbow and carpal tunnel.

Posture Medic

The Posture Medic is a resistance band based brace that helps to cue the individual in obtaining and assuming a good postural position while sitting, standing or being active. The brace pulls gently on the shoulders and upper back to unload the neck and to help place the toros in a neutral position, away from the forward, flexed, sitting posture we all migrate towards throughout our busy lives. The brace can also be used as a light resistance band to perform your postural strengthening exercises provided by one of our physiotherapists!

Foam Rollers

A foam roller is a tool that is used for what is called “self myofascial release”. Our muscle and connective tissue can often become filled with “knots” or “trigger points” and feel tight or lumpy. This can in turn cause imbalances around joints within the body and ultimately result in dysfunction and pain. The foam roller provides a solution to allow you to release these adhesions through a gentle rolling motion over top of the adhered tissue. Your physiotherapist can show you some great ways to use the foam roller today!

Back Braces

Össur Formfit® Pro Back is a lightweight, compressive back support for people with lower back pain. Pro Back restricts the movement of the lower back and provides support. This brace is indicated for for lower back conditions that may benefit from compression and gross motion restriction, such as: – Lower back pain (Lumbago) – Lumbosacral sprain/strain – Degenerative joint/disc disease
