When to use a Brace or Support?


A support brace helps you by:
  • Relieving your pain
  • Resting the injured tissues by taking some of the stressful loads
  • Protecting the injured structures from further injury
  • Allowing for initial tissue healing
  • Preventing future injury by support or joint stabilisation.
A support brace can be constructed by numerous fabrics, elastic or even alloy components. A support brace can be used in combination or instead or supporting tape or strapping.
For more specific supportive brace advice applicable to your injury, please consult your physiotherapist.
