Personalized support for knee pain, instability, and injury recovery.
Custom knee braces are medical devices precisely designed to stabilize, protect, and support your knee joint, tailored to your unique anatomy and specific condition. At London Physical Therapy Clinic, we provide prescription custom knee braces to alleviate knee pain, enhance stability, support injury recovery (e.g., ACL, meniscus), and manage conditions like osteoarthritis. They are a highly effective solution for a wide range of knee issues, offering personalized fit and function that off-the-shelf braces cannot match.
Custom knee braces are individually designed and fabricated medical devices, made from precise measurements of your leg. Unlike generic braces, they provide a superior fit and targeted support to address your specific knee condition. They work by offloading pressure from damaged areas, stabilizing unstable ligaments, or controlling range of motion to protect healing tissue. Our physiotherapists in London, Ontario, perform a comprehensive assessment and fitting process to ensure your custom knee brace provides optimal protection, comfort, and functionality, helping you move with confidence.
Below are some of the most common conditions custom knee braces can help treat:
Reduces pain by offloading pressure from the affected part of the knee joint, improving mobility and quality of life.
Provides crucial stability and protection for injured or reconstructed ligaments, both pre- and post-surgery, aiding in safe rehabilitation.
Can help reduce pain and provide support for torn meniscus, especially during activities that aggravate the knee.
Helps track the kneecap properly, reducing friction and pain around the front of the knee during movement.
Provides external support to improve confidence and reduce the feeling of the knee "giving way" due to ligament laxity or muscle weakness.
Essential for protecting the knee joint and controlling movement after various knee surgeries, ensuring proper healing and preventing re-injury.

No, custom knee braces themselves are generally not covered by OHIP. However, the physiotherapy assessment that determines your need for a brace and the subsequent follow-up care can be covered by OHIP for eligible patients (e.g., 65+, under 19, ODSP/OW, recent hospital discharge). Most private extended health insurance plans offer substantial coverage for custom knee braces when prescribed by a licensed practitioner like a physiotherapist.
After your assessment and measurements are taken, it typically takes 2-4 weeks for your custom knee brace to be manufactured and ready for pick-up. We will notify you as soon as it arrives and schedule a fitting appointment.
Yes, it's common to have a brief adjustment period. Your physiotherapist will guide you through gradually increasing wear time and activity while adapting to the brace. Minor adjustments are often needed after the initial fitting to ensure optimal comfort and function, and we'll schedule follow-up appointments for these.
