The Right Brace for Your Condition
ACL & Knee Instability
Functional ACL braces provide rotational control — helping you return to sport safely after injury or surgery.
Ligament Injuries
MCL, LCL, and PCL support with hinged braces that stabilize without restricting your movement or gait.
Osteoarthritis
Unloader braces shift weight off the damaged compartment, reducing pain and improving daily function.
Meniscus Injuries
Offloading braces reduce compression on the meniscus during conservative management or post-surgical rehab.
Return-to-Sport
Lightweight, low-profile sport braces built for high-demand activity — from hockey to court sports.
Post-Surgical Recovery
ROM braces control healing range of motion and transition progressively as recovery advances.

Book Your Assessment →Initial Assessment
Your clinician performs a comprehensive knee assessment — reviewing your diagnosis, imaging, activity level, and goals to determine the right brace type.

We take precise measurements and a plaster cast of your limb in the same visit — so the brace is manufactured to your exact anatomy, not an average size.

Your brace is manufactured by a certified Canadian orthotics lab using your cast and specifications. Most braces are ready within 2–3 weeks.

BauerfeindMediDonJoyWhat Our Patients Say
After my ACL reconstruction, RecoveryX fitted me with a custom brace. Compared to the generic one I had before — night and day. It actually fits, doesn't slip, and gave me the confidence to get back on the ice.
My OA knee brace changed my life. I went from barely walking to getting back on the golf course in weeks. Sami took the time to explain exactly why this brace works — I felt like I was in expert hands.
Twisted my ankle playing basketball and needed real support to get back. RecoveryX fitted me with a Bauerfeind ankle brace and walked me through rehab at the same time. Back on court in 6 weeks.
Common Questions
Does my insurance cover a custom brace?
+Some extended health benefit plans cover custom bracing under orthotics or bracing coverage — though this varies by plan. We provide all receipts and documentation you need to submit a reimbursement claim to your insurer.
How long does it take to get a custom brace?
+After your assessment and fitting, most braces are ready within 1–3 weeks depending on the type and supplier. Rush options may be available for urgent cases.
Do I need a referral?
+No referral is required to book with us. However, your insurer may require a physician's prescription for reimbursement — we'll advise you on this during your appointment.
What's the difference between a custom and off-the-shelf brace?
+Off-the-shelf braces are sized for the average anatomy and often slip or don't provide adequate support. A custom brace is measured and fit to your exact body — providing superior alignment, comfort, and clinical effectiveness.
Do you only do knee braces?
+Not at all. We supply and fit braces for all body regions including knee, ankle, back, shoulder, elbow, and wrist. If you have a brace need, we can assess and source the right option.
Which brands do you carry?
+We primarily work with Bauerfeind, Medi, and DonJoy — three of the most trusted names in orthopaedic bracing. Your Physiotherapist will recommend the best option for your specific condition.
Can I wear the brace during sports?
+Yes. Sport-specific braces are designed for exactly this — lightweight, low-profile, and built for movement. We'll match you to the right brace for your sport, whether hockey, basketball, skiing, or running.
