Not all knee braces are created equal. Every winter we see an increase in knee pain:
-
ACL & MCL injuries
-
Meniscal problems,
-
Osteoarthritis flare-ups,
-
Long-standing instability and if you are planning to ski this winter that suddenly becomes very real on the slopes.
If people have tried buying a knee brace online, they can often be wearing the wrong brace for their condition, activity, and pain profile.
Different knees need different solutions:
-
Osteoarthritis & general wear and tear → unloading braces to reduce joint pressure
-
Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL) → functional hinged braces for stability
-
Meniscal injuries & instability → dynamic support with movement control
-
Post-surgery / return to sport → sport-specific protective bracing
-
Skiing & high-impact sports → protection, control, and confidence without restriction
Our independent orthotist has access to all knee brace suppliers so has a wide range of options available.
We assess the knee, the lifestyle, the sport, the job, the pain, the goals — then we prescribe. And if you are wanting to get back to skiing, knee brace assessments can even be done on the slopes – we offer real world solutions for real life problems.
