The stages in our brace service are as follows:

1. 1. Individual phone call with a Physio

   Firstly we advise that you contact us by phone so that one of our highly trained specialists can discuss your personal requirements and check what brace is suitable for your needs. At this point we may ask some questions surround the history of any knee problems and about the activities you take part in.

2. 2. Full measurements at the Clinic

   You will then be asked to attend the clinic where we will measure your knee and assess your muscles, ligaments and any degree of instability you may have. The measurements will be used to order your brace. (Custom CTi Braces will have the option here to choose the colour or pattern of your choice.)

3. 3. Fitting and Video Analysis

   At your next appointment we will fit your new brace and ensure you are happy with the fit, including fastening and release processes. We will then conduct a multi-angled video analysis of you either walking or running. Seeing what biomechanical stresses your knee undergoes during these movements helps us identify any unnatural strains or pressure through your knee. If the rest of your body, such as your hips, ankles and back are not moving as they should, the knees will have compensated for that and been overworked. From the analysis our specialists can provide advice or if required, provide further training on how to get these body areas moving correctly and thereby helping to prevent future injury.

Synergy’s comprehensive process will make sure you are happy with the fit and feel of your new brace, enabling an effective and confident return to your activities.
