I like the brace and the ability to insert the cold/hot gel pack and the pressure pad. It is a bit limiting as I am short so the brace sits quite high. However, I ordered 2 braces, one identified as 0... See more

I was so happy to find this brace! I’m a smaller frame and it fit perfectly. Generous length for the larger arms. Comfort even over a shirt. Love the insert instructions.

The 2 stars is for the product but the operational execution of the company. The items shipped and arrived promptly. The product itself is a hand liner to act as a bit of protectant between thumb/hand and thumb brace. I was thinking it was more a stretch/compression/form fitting under layer. It’d just a cheap loose fitting knit thumb ‘sock’ basically. About 10 cents of material that doesn’t fit well and won’t last long.

I received my brace in a couple of days and the product was neatly packaged with some important instructions. But most of all I found a brace that really helped me. I’ve purchased many braces on my w, the VA has given me many braces thru out the years, and really none of them helped me. I can honestly say, this is the best brace I’ve ever purchased, and at a very affordable price. I couldn’t be happier.

This was for my wife
This was for my wife, she found relief the first time she used the brace. This will help her with walks and tasks around the house. It takes the pressure off the lower back and allows her to build back strength and moves her towards a more pain free life.

Horrible experience with this company
Horrible experience with this company. Received brace and it cause my hand pain. I sent it back and altho the product was ineffective and not correct which caused pain BRACEABILITY still charged me shipping to return it. I wrote to let them know the pain it caused but still I’m out shipping. I’ll never buy from braceability again and will let everyone know

Ordered for my niece
Ordered for my niece. I was able to size her knee and order the brace which fit her correctly. I am not sure what happened when the care worker tried to fit the brace initially, but they struggled to put the brace on correctly. As I was not there, not sure what the issue was. She is slowly adjusting to wearing. She challenged but very conscious of appearance so getting used the bulkiness is taking her some time. Hoping the more she wears it, she sees the benefit of pain reduction and becomes happier to wear more often.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear the brace fit correctly after sizing and that she is slowly adjusting to wearing it. We understand it can take time to get used to the fit and bulkiness, especially at first. We appreciate your trust and hope she continues to see improvement in comfort and pain relief as she wears it more regularly.

I purchased my braces online
I purchased my braces online. When they arrive they were exactly what I wanted.

I purchased my braces online. When they arrive they were exactly what I wanted.
Be careful.
I purchased an OA knee brace from BraceAbility, which was delivered on April 15, 2026. The brace was tried on once on April 16 and returned the next day (April 17), well within their stated return window.
BraceAbility denied the return, claiming the item was “used/worn,” and provided photos as evidence. However, the photos they provided do not match the condition—or appear to be the same brace—that was returned. The brace in their images shows significant residue and wear inconsistent with a single try-on.
More concerning, their policy states that if a return is denied, they will not send the item back to the customer. In this case, they are attempting to keep both the product and the payment.
This is unacceptable. I have initiated a credit card dispute and recommend others be extremely cautious when purchasing from this company, especially for products that must be tried on to assess fit. I have photos of the brace, video of it being packed up, and proof of receipt and delivery within the two day window. Please also read reviews of this company on Google. Many 1 star reviews show a similar pattern. The company receives an item which was only tried on and then rejects the return keeping the item and the money.

Unprompted review
Reply from BraceAbility
Thank you for reaching out, and we truly understand this is not the outcome you were hoping for.
We want to assure you that the brace shown in the inspection photos is the exact item you returned — nothing has been altered or tampered with on our end. After a thorough inspection, our returns team determined that the brace was not received in its original, clean, and sellable condition.
Because our products are personal and medical in nature, we must uphold strict hygiene and safety standards to ensure every customer receives a product that is new, safe, and reliable. For this reason, items that do not meet our return criteria are disposed of immediately and cannot be returned to the customer or resold.
We understand this is frustrating, and we sincerely apologize for any disappointment this has caused. However, we must apply our return policy consistently and fairly to all customers.
While we are unable to accept this return, we remain committed to supporting you with any future purchases or product questions you may have.
