I’ve been buying their knee supports for a few years. They certainly have helped and I’m able to run 25km a week, as well as play over 10 hours of Pickleball. However, one of the knee sup... See more

Absolutely brilliant company to buy products from. They are there on the other side of the phone to talk to you and to advise you. When order needed changing or products needed exchanging or refunding... See more

Written by the company

Brace-Yourself is a UK specialist in orthopaedic braces, sports supports, compression sleeves and rehabilitation equipment, based in North Shields, Tyne and Wear. We supply individuals, physiotherapy clinics and professional sports teams with clinically effective products from leading manufacturers including Bauerfeind, Incrediwear, Sissel, Actimove and FootActive. We launched to offer something better than the typical online orthopaedic shopping experience, where products are often poorly made or of limited medical benefit. Today we're recognised in the industry as a leading independent provider of premium orthopaedic braces and supports, and every product we sell is chosen because it's clinically effective and can be self-applied without needing a clinician. Our range covers medical supports such as braces, splints and slings for the knee, ankle, wrist, shoulder and spine, suitable for post-surgical recovery, chronic conditions and acute injuries. For active customers, our sports and performance & recovery ranges provide joint protection and faster recovery through advanced compression and semiconductor fabric technology. We also stock fitness and rehabilitation equipment such as foam rollers, balance boards and kinesiology tape, orthopaedic footwear and insoles for conditions like plantar fasciitis and bunions, and comfort products including ergonomic pillows and posture supports. Whether customers are recovering from injury, managing a long-term condition, or looking for the best in sports protection, we aim to provide trusted, clinically proven products backed by expert advice. We believe health is about more than fixing problems — our products are designed to support body, mind and lifestyle together, combining science and innovation with a genuine focus on lasting wellbeing.

Great Company!

Just wanted to highlight what a great company that this is. Ordering on the 23rd of December with an urgent ask and shipping details have already been provided (with item due on 24th!).

Great comms and super all around service. Thanks so much. Ollie

Great product, great service. Highly recommend

Bought 2 of the new Incrediwear knee braces - they're an absolute game-changer for me. Can't recommend enough! My arthritis is chronic so I'd really given up on anything that could help the pain day to day, but these really do.

There's no doubt whatsoever that they've helped with my pain, both when exercising but also recovering after too.

I'm a fitness coach and PT so I've really put the product through it's paces in terms of the amount of wear/ washing/ taking on and off - the quality is amazing.

Definitely recommended

Very efficient, professional, kind and overall helpful customer service.
I have just started to wear a shoulder brace for training so it is early to tell but it looks like it is doing its job in supporting and protecting the joint (after a ligament injury).
The brace looks very strong and well-made.

Great Customer Service

Massive thank you to Jeff for your support yesterday. I had ordered a knee strap around a year ago and had cut the label out and wasn't sure what size it was to make a second order. Jeff looked into it and called me back so I could order a second strap. He then called me again, as I had ordered a different colour this time and he wanted to check the order was correct. I am super impressed with this amazing service, which is so appreciated. The strap arrived the following day (today) with a thank you card from Jeff.

Great customer service

Couldn't believe I got personal replies from this company when I needed a speedy delivery. But I did, they were effective, and my delivery arrived just when I needed it! So rare... Thanks, guys.

Fantastic team with high-quality products

The team at Brace Yourself provide an honest, friendly approach to your shopping experience and the quality of their products are amazing. I recently ordered an Incrediwear knee brace to aid my running which feels comfortable, robust and offers an interesting cooling effect when the knee is active. Pleasure to shop here.

Best customer service

We began with the Incrediwear knee supports, which are noticeably “Incredible” and moved on to try the back support. Decided we needed something sturdier and before we had even sent the support back the Incrediwear back brace was on its way. Incredible and creditable customer service of the highest order. Jeff,
You’re a star!

Excellent customer support

After a small manufacturing defect on my order, a replacement was sent immediately and I received it the following day. Fantastic customer service and the product has made a huge change to the level at which I can excercise after I tore the meniscus in my knee.
I was very impressed with the product and the customer support.

Excellent service

Excellent service. I highly recommend using Brace Yourself. I ordered 2 Genu Train S knee braces, which arrived in a timely manner. After I found out that one of the braces was stretched, I contacted the company via email and received the response immediately. I was sent an another brace which arrived within 48h of my original query! Fantastic customer service and speedy delivery. Thank you Jeff 😊

Great customer service

Great customer service, rapid delivery, quality product and amazing communication.
Jeff was most helpful supplying an arm sling for my wife after the hospital gave her the wrong size. This latest design of the same hospital issue, has a broader neck strap and is far more comfortable.
Thanks Jeff we will buy from Brace-Yourself again and spread the recommendation.

Exceptional.

Jeff from Brace-Yourself contacted me out of the blue regarding an issue I had with another company and resolved it within minutes of me responding to his email, after not hearing from the other company for over a week!

His kindness made my day and has earned them a customer for life; I can't recommend them enough!
Many thanks!!

Exceptional Customer Service

I highly rate businesses that have truly good customer service when there’s an issue, and the service from Jeff at Brace Yourself was the best I’ve ever had in all my years (over 50).

He responded to my email within the hour, kept me informed about what would be next while he contacted the maker of the item (Sissel Sitfit) and quickly contacted me again to inform me a replacement was being dispatched immediately to arrive the next day.

He kept me abreast of the delivery progress and checked that it had arrived in good order.

Every one of his emails was a delight - which is a rare thing when sorting things out these days. His level of service is a credit to the business, it’s wonderful to deal with someone that responds as a human being who cares.

This, along with a good product, is what builds strong loyalty to a business. I have recommended them multiple times now and will continue to do so.
