Bladder devices and various brace apparatuses are used for providing added support to joint regions of a user. Use of the bladder devices enable a user to control the amount of pressure and resulting support to be supplied to selected portions of the joint regions. The bladder devices are able to be inserted into existing brace apparatuses. In addition, cold/hot packs are also insertable into the brace apparatus along with the bladder devices separately or integrally combined therewith, as needed to provide additional comfort and care to the joint region.
