Bracing
Bracing
Braces have revolutionized the way individuals approach pain management and injury or surgery recovery. They provide patients with a wearable device that allows them to move and function optimally while keeping their bones, joints and ligaments protected.
What Braces Do?
- Stability: Supportive braces help you stay stable if you have weakened muscles.
- Immobilization: It sounds counterproductive, but some treatments require parts of your body to stay still while they heal. Injury braces are often used this way.
- Correction: Braces may be prescribed to help injuries or deformities go back to how they were.
- Strengthening: Physiotherapy braces can strengthen muscles by gently forcing them to move a certain way as you exercise.
