Places to buy sport braces and supports in Calgary?

[djwazzy]

Does anyone know of any good places in Calgary to purchase sport braces and supports? The local pharmacy sells a few braces but I'm looking for a place the specializes in these sorts of things (and hopefully open on the weekends!) Thanks!

I buy my ankle braces from the Home Medical Supply store on Macleod Trail, just north of Heritage Dr. Its right beside the soundsaround.

Kenron near the Foothills Hospital has a lot of specialized stuff and can help you find anything that they don't have...

Calgary Health Link (24/7/365) may also have info:
943-5465

My wife was referred to Blain Maclean Pharmacy when she needed one. They had all sorts there.

Lifemark Health sells braces out of their Talisman centre. They do a good job and make sure you are getting a proper fit.

There is also a place down in the east village. Alberta Prosthetics or Calgary Prosthetics. Something like that.

I'd second that. Getting the brace fitted properly is just as important as the brace itself. Most Physiotherapists can also hook you up with a brace, as well as fit you for one of those bionic thingies if you need it.
