"The unloader brace that you fitted with three years ago has been more than I ever expected. It has enabled me to continue hiking in the Columbia Gorge without problem. Twelve mile hikes are no problem with the brace, but without it, I would not attempt half that amount. Thanks for all of the courtesy and expertise you have extended to me over the past three years. You have me a client for life."

“I really enjoy the newfound confidence that comes with my knee brace. I feel more steady and supported while being active, as well as a sense of enhanced strength and security when dealing with previously joint-straining motions like walking up-and-down steep stairs. I no
longer find myself bracing for the frequent tinge of pain that would often accompany the movement. Karen and the people at Genesis were very kind, reassuring and courteous. I’m glad I got over the stigma of what having a knee brace at my age means.”
