159 Should you wear a brace forever?

Braces and orthotics are super effective when they're used properly to limit range of motion at a joint (or joints).

But they're meant to be a short-term solution - not your newest accessory.

You'll learn:

When to wear a joint brace (and the right way to use it)
Common types of braces and the injuries they're meant to support
How to build back joint strength after an injury - even if it's been a while
