Are you dealing with inner (medial) knee pain caused by osteoarthritis or a meniscus injury? You’re not alone — and there’s good news. At Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic in Oakville, we offer custom knee bracing solutions designed to reduce pain, improve stability, and help you return to the activities you love.
Why Custom Knee Bracing?
When knee pain starts limiting your ability to walk, run, hike, or even climb stairs, a custom-fit knee brace can provide the support your joint needs — without restricting your movement.
For medial knee pain, we often recommend unloader braces, which are specifically designed to:
- Reduce pressure on the inner joint compartment (where arthritis or cartilage damage is most common)
- Improve alignment and joint mechanics
- Delay or avoid the need for surgery
- Support the meniscus post-injury to allow healing and reduce stress on surrounding structures
Unlike bulky off-the-shelf braces, a custom brace is measured and fitted to your knee, ensuring better comfort, less slipping, and better long-term wearability.
Lightweight & Low-Profile: Wear It All Day Without Worry
One of the biggest reasons patients avoid bracing is because of comfort — or lack of it. At Sheddon Physio in Oakville, we offer lightweight, low-profile bracing options that are:
- Easy to wear under clothing
- Lightweight for active lifestyles
- Designed for day-long use at work, home, or during sports
- Built to tolerate a wide range of movement, including walking, hiking, and recreational sports
“The biggest difference with a custom brace is that people actually wear it — because it fits right, and it works.”
— Dr. Shantelle Reid, Sports Medicine Physician, Sheddon Physiotherapy
