Specialist Brace Fitting

We provide leading specialist brace fitting service across our sites in London

Bracing is a therapy option that uses external braces on limbs to provide additional support for unstable joints or ligaments. Braces are often made of soft, durable fabric, but can also include metal, plastic and Velcro straps. They can be custom-made or come patient-ready. Your physiotherapist can make sure you choose the right brace and get it customized for your needs.

And why us? All our practitioners are appropriately accredited and hold their accreditation across several bodies. Our staff are officially certified to fit Ossur braces. To do this we’ve undertaken many of their course, including their Advanced Brace Fitting Course and Unloader One X Course. We’re constantly keeping our Ossur brace fitting skills maintained by using the Ossur Academy, Ossur’s training tool.
