Injury Prevention in Sport
Wearing an ankle support can help prevent unwanted motion injuries such as a sprained ankle or twisted ankle. Many sports require you to make quick changes in direction or put a lot of pressure on the ankle joint through running, jumping and landing. Being risk-averse and wearing an ankle support to prevent these actions causing an injury is a great option - especially if you've got history with bad ankle injuries.
Andy Murray famously wore the Aircast A60 Ankle Brace when he won Wimbledon in 2016, highlighting the importance of taking precautions, and not leaving yourself exposed to injury. The ankle supports in our range are all lightweight and comfortable, meaning that you can stay protected without even feeling as though you are wearing a support.
Pain Relief After Injury
For injuries that you were not expecting or prepared for, the ankle supports in our range can also help to provide pain relief. Providing compression to the injured ankle will help reduce swelling which can reduce pain and discomfort, and help you get back to full mobility quickly.
For support following surgery or a severe ankle injury, check out our ankle brace range. These are more suitable for those bigger, more serious ankle injuries as they work to limit movement and provide extra stability. However, when returning to sport or physical activity, an ankle support from this catalogue should be your go to.
Support When Returning To Sport
Our ankle supports provide warmth, compression, and a high level of support to ensure that your return to sport is a pain-free and successful one. People can often be nervous for their first sessions back, however wearing an ankle support can help reduce this stress and fear, as you are safe in the knowledge that your ankle is protected from any unexpected motion injuries. When competing or taking part in sport, your mental state is equally as important as your physical state, and wearing one of our ankle supports should provide you with the confidence and peace of mind to be able to perform to your fullest abilities, as the risk of injury is reduced.
Ankle Flexibility & Freedom of Movement
One of the main benefits of an ankle support from our range is the ability to support your ankle through an injury, while still allowing you a significant range of motion and movement. Many ankle supports can often restrict the freedom of the wearer as it can be difficult or uncomfortable to walk in, whereas our ankle supports successfully do both.
One of the most important factors when recovering from an injury is your mental state, and our ankle supports provide the correct level of support, while still allowing you a range of movement ensuring you are not confined to the indoors during your rehabilitation.
Lightweight & Easy Application
Our ankle supports can mostly be applied by simply pulling it over your ankle and letting it sit there. This easy application and removal method makes life easier when it comes to washing and sleeping for example. It is important that you seek professional medical advice for your injury. In some instances, you may be required to keep your ankle support on while you sleep, so it is important to know whether this applies to you.
For the less severe ankle injuries such as a sprained ankle or a twisted ankle, it is common that you would remove the support every now and then, whether this be for any of the reasons stated above, or to apply ice to the area for example. For instances such as this, our easy removal ankle supports are perfect.
