What is a Custom Knee Brace?
You know that uncomfortable feeling you get when you wear a pair of running shoes that don’t fit you properly? If they are too big, they will rub and give you blisters.
Shoes that are too small will cut into uncomfortable places in your foot. The wrong shoes can cause or aggravate foot ailments. This is no different than wearing a knee brace that doesn’t fit properly.
Choosing the right kind of knee brace is crucial if you suffer from knee injuries and knee pain. A custom fitted knee brace is designed based on the precise measurements of your leg, and tailored for your particular injury. They are light-weight, comfortable, easily adjustable and can be worn during most sporting activities.
This personalized knee brace conforms with the biomechanics of your knee, allowing a simple and effective way to relieve pain, prevent injury and resume your activities. In addition, a well fitted brace can gently restrict the range of motion in unstable joints and support the injured area.
There are three main types of knee braces that can be customized perfectly to fit your leg and your specific injury:
Ligament Injury Braces – ACL-PCL-MCL-LCL
- A tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common injuries to the knee. A quick movement or sharp turn when running or jumping is the usual culprit of an ACL injury. Those who play basketball, volleyball, tennis, football, soccer, and similar sports are more likely to injure their ACL as a result of their rapid, twisting knee movements. A badly torn ACL has been known to put an early end to a promising career for many athletes.
- You know you have an ACL injury when there is a popping noise in the affected knee, swelling and chronic pain, restricted range of motion, and difficulty in walking. RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) is very crucial in the first 24 hours of the injury.
- Visit a physiotherapist for proper evaluation, effective treatment solutions and proper rehabilitation plans. Depending on the severity of the knee injury, the most serious may need surgery but for less severe cases, a combination of anti-inflammatory drugs, a knee brace, and physio exercises is the best way for ACL injury management.
- These knee braces are crucial for all ligament tears and instabilities. They provide the ultimate combination of stabilization and protection of the knee joint. These braces have hinges and adjustable stops that allow you to expand and limit their range of movement as desired.
Unloading Knee Braces
- Knee braces that are designed to reduce osteoarthritis pain, provide long term pain relief, postpone or eliminate the need for surgery and reduce the need for medications.
Post Operative Knee Braces
- Ideal for those who want to immobilize the knee joint after knee surgery.
What Knee Injuries Can a Custom Knee Brace Treat?
Say goodbye to your knee pains including:
- Chronic knee pain
- Knee instabilities
- Golf injuries
- Manage chronic conditions
- Ligamentous knee injuries (Knee – ACL, MCL, LCL and PCL instabilities)

Our cutting-edge physiotherapists have been fitting patients with custom (and non-custom) knee braces in St. Alberta and Edmonton communities since 1992. All our registered physiotherapists are experienced in knee bracing. We take a “big picture” approach to help you achieve optimal results.
Our physical therapists will not only treat your knee injury but will also assess the entire lower body and other possible weak areas contributing to your condition. We are also trained to distinguish conditions that don’t require custom bracing and will suggest alternative treatment plans.
