brace fitting
QUALITY CARE IN OTTAWA
Uneven and unstable joints can occur for many reasons, including injury, illness, or a chronic condition. Often, if you’re struggling with irregular or unstable joints, a custom brace can significantly help. Most notably, the brace supports the compromised joint to help reduce pain and discomfort. In addition, brace support can help treat stiff joints over the long term, helping realign the joint. Doing so helps improve overall mobility.
At A Plus Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre, we provide custom brace fitting to help ensure you get the proper brace and fit for your unique condition. Without correct fitting, you can have issues with proper joint alignment. It can also result in further injury to an already compromised joint.
Ensuring you’re working with professionals with a deep knowledge of physiology and bone structure will greatly increase your brace’s likelihood of providing the support you need. We also have clients with osteoporosis who significantly benefit from our custom brace fittings to help protect joints and minimize pressure.
No matter your current condition, if you have sore joints preventing you from enjoying your everyday life to the fullest, we highly recommend looking into a brace fitting with A Plus Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre.

benefits of brace fitting
improved joint stability
Having unstable joints is painful, but it can also often result in falls and injuries if a person is not careful. With a custom brace fitting, we can help reduce the likelihood of injury or fall by providing the joints with more stability. Quality of life also often goes up because of the reduction in pain.
load distribution
If you have compromised joints, one of the worst things you can do is put a lot of pressure or weight on the joint. This is where a properly fitted brace can provide a lot of support. A brace helps shift the weight from the compromised joint to the less compromised joints.
increased mobility
If you have compromised joints and fail to wear a brace, you might struggle to walk long distances or go up and down stairs. With a brace, especially a customized one, you’ll find that getting around is much easier and often much less painful.
proper fit
At A Plus Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre, we offer custom fitting. This means that our braces are much more likely to do their job correctly, and they are much more comfortable to wear because they fit your exact measurements (i.e. no pinching, squeezing, or slipping off).
You don’t have to live with painful, compromised joints.

Will a brace help immediately?
After clients leave us with their new custom brace, they often expect their pain to get better within a day or two. Unfortunately, if you’ve been dealing with years of improper joint alignment and load issues, there’s a good chance it will take a couple of weeks before you start to notice a reduction in pain.
The more you wear the brace, the quicker you’ll start to notice relief.
Do I need to wear my brace all the time?
Good question! You don’t need to wear your brace all the time, but as mentioned, the more you wear it, the more relief you’ll experience. Having said that, you should not wear your brace all the time.
We recommend always wearing your brace in situations that include standing or walking for long periods, or if you know that you’ll be going up and down stairs. If you have a brace on your wrist or arm, the same applies (i.e. wear your brace when you know you’ll be using those joints repeatedly).
Why should I invest in a custom brace?
Going the custom route is well worth the investment. Most notably, you’ll find with a custom brace, it’s much more comfortable to wear, which will increase the likelihood that you’ll wear your brace on a regular basis.
In addition, a custom brace fitted by a professional like the ones we employ will help ensure that we’re healing the joint properly and reducing the load impact. Failure to do so can result in even more joint pain.
