Success Stories
What Are Custom Knee Braces?
A custom knee brace is a supportive device designed to fit your leg precisely. Unlike off-the-shelf options, custom braces are made using advanced measurement technology, giving you a tailored fit that addresses your specific needs.
At our Collingwood clinic, the most common braces we provide include:
- Ligament Support Braces – For knees with weak or damaged ligaments, including after surgery.
- Osteoarthritis Braces – Designed to unload either the medial or lateral compartment of the knee, reducing pressure and providing relief from pain.
Custom braces give you the support you need to move with confidence and comfort, whether that’s returning to your favourite sport or simply enjoying day-to-day activities again.

Don’s involvement in sports growing up was the catalyst for his career in physiotherapy. He began his studies at Mount Royal College in Calgary, where he earned a Diploma in Athletic Therapy. After spending a few years working in a private physiotherapy clinic, he was accepted into the Physical Therapy program at the University of Alberta, graduating in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy.
After graduation, Don returned to the clinic where he first discovered his passion for physiotherapy—Bowmont Physical Therapy in Calgary—and eventually took over the practice. Not long after, he fell in love again, this time with his wife Catharine, and moved to Wasaga Beach. In 2005, he opened Body ‘n Balance Physio & Wellness, and in 2017, he expanded by opening a second clinic in Creemore.
Don’s treatment philosophy centers on treating each patient as an individual. He believes it’s essential for patients to fully understand their injury or condition, and he takes the time to explain anatomy, X-ray and MRI reports, and assessment findings in detail. He also has a strong passion and special interest in running and the prevention of running-related injuries.
