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

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.

Amazing Customer Service
Jeff worked with me every step of my order to make sure I had the right fitting brace in time for my snowboarding holiday. He was extremely attentive and helpful and the brace turned out great! It was the first trip where I had minimal swelling after I snapped my meniscus a few years ago. I can't say enough great things about Brace Yourself.
Incredible Incrediwear
I have been using the Incrediwear body sleeve for a few months now and I must say it is fantastic. I can happily say I use less pain medication as a result. I would (and have) recommend trying this for anyone suffering from long term issues. Many thanks.
Amazing customer service, highly recommended
Amazing customer service. I ordered a knee brace, it arrived extremely quickly but looked like it was a return as it was not in perfect condition.
I had an email response almost immediately and as a goodwill gesture, another one was sent out free of charge the next day. I cannot recommend Brace-Yourself (and Jeff in particular) more highly.
Great customer service
Great customer service! Went above and beyond to help with my last minute delivery changes. Highly recommended!

I have purchased 2 knee supports which have been excellent. From over use one of the splints snapped. Contacted Jeff from Customer Services who provided great advice and was brilliant with his support and who dispatched a replacement on the same day. Would reccomend the company and thanks to Jeff for all your help !
6 star experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jeff and the team really looked after me, I needed a brace asap, they expedited the delivery and I even got a discount code for signing up to the newsletter.
I placed my order at 10am yesterday and I was wearing it by lunchtime today! Very very impressed thank you
Excellent service
Excellent service, during the purchase order and delivery, plus friendly staff, for my order for my knee support, which really helps me. Thank you!
Incrediwear Knee supports
I had a recommendation for the Incrediwear Knee brace to manage my arthritic knee pain. Having been through many other knee supports I am a solo delighted with it. I can comfortably walk 18 holes of golf - it reduces pain and inflammation.
Plus, their Customer Care is exceptional.
I’m so glad to have had this recommendation.
Superb Customer Service
Had a mix up with my order and received the wrong item. Jeff sorted this out with no fuss then sorted me out with my refund and order of the correct item. Superb customer service.
Brilliant customer service!
Massive thank you to Jeff at Brace-Yourself, I desperately needed fast delivery of a knee brace for my son and Jeff saved the day! Brilliant personal customer service! Highly recommend!
Great service
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Jeff who has been so very helpful in finally getting my pillow delivered to me. He has been most patient and efficient. Hopefully I can now get a good night's sleep 😴. Great service.
Litterally night and day difference
Litterally night and day difference. I had a nasty skate accident and my knee has been killing me for about 3 weeks now. Ordered the knee sleeve and oh my days what a difference. Love it.

I purchased a knee brace from brace yourself last year. The customer service was great. I wanted to repurchase the same item this year from brace yourself but i found the product I was looking for cheaper elsewhere. I told Jeff, he got back to me quickly and price matched the product. Jeff sent my knee brace on a speedy delivery as well. Very happy. Great service as usual. Thanks Jeff
What a great company to deal with!
What a pleasure this company has been to deal with! I needed a knee brace / support to help me in my journey back onto the hockey pitch, some months after knee surgery. I wasn't sure what sort of brace to buy, & ended up purchasing something that was uncomfortable [for me]. Jeff was so responsive - same day replies to my emails asking for help, with a no quibble willingness to exchange what I had bought for an alternative option, which arrived the very next day [& is amazing]! I can't thank Jeff and the team enough - absolutely outstanding customer service.
Excellent company
Excellent company. Fast and efficient. Had a slight problem with the product I bought (through no fault of the company itself) and the matter was rectified pretty much immediately. Absolutely top-notch customer service. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic Company to deal with
Absolutely wonderful customer service and an excellent product. I bought the elbow brace as I suffer from tennis AND golf elbow and am now totally pain free. From placing my order to follow up questions, communication has been first rate. I have recommended Brace-Yourself to several of my tennis friends and they have all bought the same product! Jeff in customer service deserves a medal. Outstanding!
Truly outstanding customer service
Outstanding customer service. Having been badly let down by Amazon (who cancelled my "next day delivery" three days after it was due) I phoned Brace-Yourself and my order was with me before lunch the next day - with a handwritten note enclosed! Thank you.
Perfect
This company is an absolute dream to deal with
Great products and superb service
The whole experience was great
The whole experience was great. Brace arrived next day. I didn’t have to take to my physio to fit it for me as instructions were really straightforward and adjusting it by myself was so simple. I had used bulky ones in past but none gave me the support I required. I wore it all day and didn’t have usual pain, I really recommend this support as it’s great.

Never experienced customer service like…
Never experienced customer service like this, my order went to a pick up shop that I hadn't requested, needless to say I wasn't happy, contacted seller and they sorted replacements for next day delivery. I assume they recovered the products sent to the pick up shop. Brace-yourself will do their utmost to solve/rectify any issues with delivery.
