Bracing and Products!
Our Bracing Specialist, Mazen, can expertly identify your needs to help you get a custom or off the shelf brace to restore your quality of life.
Getting you back to your activities of daily living with less pain!
Bracing is used to bridge the gap between an injured and a healthy joint, or to extend the quality of life in a weakened or aging joint. Depending on your needs, bracing can be done for almost any joint. When combined with other modalities of rehabilitation, bracing can be a crucial tool to help get you back into doing the activities that bring you joy!
What does the Bracing Process involve?
The process starts with a conversation with our Bracing Specialist to determine the best course of bracing to fit your needs! With the knee alone, there are different types of braces that can give you added stability, or help restrict movement to assist your recovery from ligament damage, or to help with offloading pressure to help with degenerative damage caused by illness such as osteoarthritis.
Our Bracing Specialist can also assist you with our wide range of additional products such as TENS machines.
New! Knee Brace Unloader Program! Ideal for those suffering from osteoarthritis, a meniscus injury or other knee pain. This dynamic brace is a leader in its class for the immediate relief from OA.

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
You do not require a doctor’s referral to attend physiotherapy, chiropractic or massage therapy. However, if you intend to use your health insurance to cover the cost you should confirm your insurers policy as some may ask you for a doctor’s referral.
The advantage of choosing a service provider that works in a collaborative practice environment like PROTx is that regardless of who you see initially, you will always be directed to the most appropriate therapist. This team environment gives you, the client, the best possible options.
Your therapist will perform an assessment. You will be asked a series of questions that will help better describe all of your symptoms in detail. This will be followed by an examination of the areas causing concern and associated areas. Following the assessment, the findings, your goals and available treatment options will be discussed.
The first appointment can take up to an hour. Subsequent treatments can be shorter or longer depending upon the condition and the treatment required.
