Sports Support & Bracing
Sports Support & Bracing BY Zortex Orthotics
A large range of predesigned braces are available to manage sports injuries to enable a quicker return to your sport. Each brace is individually sourced and comes with full professional back up and support.
In the past, immobilisation was often seen as the best care after an injury, however studies now show that safe mobilisation in the early period after injury can allow ligaments and bones to heal faster.
Joints that are unstable due to ligament damage benefit from extra supportive braces. Joints that are sore and ache from over use feel better in a warm mildly supportive brace.
With this knowledge Zortex Orthotics has been involved in an extensive effort to source the best sports braces from around the world in an effort to prevent injury and early retirement.
A simple brace can keep an athlete on the court.
