At Perfect Motion Physiotherapy in Adelaide, we provide expert assessment and fitting of a wide range of orthopaedic braces to help support your recovery from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions. Whether you’re dealing with joint instability, post-operative needs, or ligament injuries, our physiotherapists can recommend and fit the right brace to improve your comfort, reduce strain, and promote healing.
Why Bracing Matters
A well-fitted brace plays a crucial role in:
- Providing external support to injured or weakened joints and muscles
- Reducing movement in the affected area to prevent further damage
- Improving joint alignment and posture
- Alleviating pain and inflammation
- Enabling safe movement and activity during rehabilitation
We take into account your injury type, stage of healing, activity level, and long-term goals to ensure the brace is matched precisely to your needs.
Braces We Commonly Fit
We can organise and fit braces for a variety of conditions, including:
- Knee braces – for ACL, MCL, meniscal injuries, arthritis, or post-op care
- Ankle braces – for ligament sprains, instability, or return to sport
- Wrist and thumb braces – for carpal tunnel, sprains, or tendonitis
- Elbow braces – for tennis/golfer’s elbow or post-fracture support
- Back supports – for lumbar disc injuries, postural issues, or chronic pain
- Shoulder braces – for dislocation prevention or rotator cuff injuries
- Post-operative and custom-made braces as required
If we are unable to source a brace that is specific to your condition, we can provide a referral to a trusted orthotist or specialist supplier for a custom-fabricated brace tailored to your individual needs.
Why Choose a Physiotherapist for Brace Fitting?
While over-the-counter braces are widely available, they are often ill-fitting, ineffective, or even harmful if used incorrectly. At Perfect Motion Physiotherapy, we:
- Conduct a comprehensive clinical assessment to determine the most suitable brace
- Provide professional fitting to ensure optimal support, comfort, and function
- Make adjustments as needed and teach you how to use the brace safely
- Integrate the brace into your overall rehab plan, including exercises and manual therapy
- Schedule follow-up reviews to monitor progress and modify the brace if needed
We also work closely with local GPs, surgeons, and orthotic providers to ensure continuity of care across your recovery journey.
Supporting Your Full Recovery
Bracing is often one part of a broader rehabilitation strategy. At Perfect Motion Physiotherapy, we combine manual therapy, individualised exercise programs, and electro physical agents such as:
- Interferential Therapy (IFT)
- Ultrasound Therapy
- Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)
These treatments work together to reduce pain, improve mobility, and accelerate tissue healing while your brace provides the necessary protection.
