Custom Bracing
What are Custom Braces?
Trend Physio has a team of expert physiotherapists and chiropractors that have extensive experience in prescribing and fitting both off-the-shelf and custom-made braces. The role of braces is to provide stability, reduce pressure to an injured site and help reduce pain and prevent further damage. They are used to treat injuries and prevent reinjury by protecting you from making certain movements.
What conditions can braces treat?:
Our therapists may recommend a specific brace due to injury, before or after surgery, or as a preventative measure. Trend Physio offers a range of custom-fit braces such as:
- Ankle braces
- Air casts for stress fractures
- Back braces
- Patient ready knee braces
- Drop foot braces
- Elbow braces for golfer's or tennis elbow
- Post - operative braces
- Shoulder stabilizers
- Thumb braces for DeQuevain's or tendonitis
- Wrist braces for carpal tunnel, arthritis, or tendonitis
