"Everyone is very knowledgeable, their experience is evident"
My experience with physio health group has been excellent. From the initial handoff by the surgeon, their constant contact with the surgeon, their ability to identify, target and address the underlying problems, their really listening to my questions/concerns/challenges, the whole process of custom bracing, adjustment and subsequent support needs.

Custom bracing for knee arthritis
Bracing can be customized to certain diagnoses. If you are experiencing knee arthritis, a knee unloader brace might help. Unloader braces are proven to help reduce knee pain and improve function for people with arthritis. They are designed to relieve pressure on your knee to reduce the bone-on-bone pain you feel when you stand, walk, or run.
A knee unloader brace can help you:
- Regain confidence to move freely
- Delay or prevent surgery
- Return to or continue with an active lifestyle
- Reduce the need for medication

FAQs
Why Brace After ACL Surgery?
A brace in the later stages of your rehabilitation, as you prepare to return to play, can help protect your ACL graft from harmful forces that occur during sports and activities. Bracing also improves confidence, allowing you to return to your previous or enhanced level of activity.
Another important reason? Peace of mind. A functional knee brace provides not only confidence for the patient but confidence for the surgeon, knowing that their patient’s knee is protected.
Our braces are made from lightweight materials and are specifically designed for sports and activities.
There are a number of braces to choose from, with a variety of features designed to help protect your knee. Our bracing specialist can help you choose the brace that’s right for you.
How Do Unloader Braces Work?
Unloader braces provide pain relief by improving knee alignment and off-loading or transferring the pressure off the joint to help reduce the bone-on-bone pain from arthritis.
There are many different braces to choose from, all with a variety of features to help off-load your knee. Some people may need a lot of off-loading capabilities, while others need just a slight push and comfort that surrounds the muscles around the knee. The types of activities and sports you participate in will also determine which brace is best for you.
Our bracing specialist can talk to you about your condition, discuss your goals and review all bracing options to ensure you find the brace that’s right for you.
Most insurance plans will cover the cost of custom knee braces. We will provide you with a written estimate which you can submit to your insurance company for approval prior to ordering the brace.
