Ankle Support For Running
Wearing an ankle support while running helps to stabilise and guide the ankle and foot, while simultaneously protecting the ankle from impact and repetitive motion injuries. Weak, unsupported ankles are very susceptible to injuries such as a sprained ankle, so providing them with added protection and support is a great way to ensure you can run without causing any damage.
Runner's ankle is a common injury people suffer when partaking in running-based activities. This is when you feel pain and discomfort in the ankle joint during, or even in the days after completing a run. Wearing a sports ankle support can help reduce the chances of experiencing pain during or after your run, allowing you to continuously perform to your highest possible level.
The Best Football Ankle Support
Ankle injuries are very common in football, no matter which position you play. For example, impact injuries caused by tackling, or injuries such as a rolled ankle, caused by rapid changes in direction can cause players significant pain, and can often lead to between 6-12 weeks on the sideline. Wearing a football ankle brace can help to protect your ankle joints from these sorts of injuries which makes them a solid investment for anyone who plays football.
Providing extra strength and protection to the vulnerable area can help you to negate the chance of injuries, helping you to perform to your highest level. In football, shin pads are required to help protect the shin bone from injury, however there is often little to no protection offered to the ankle joint. With ankle injuries extremely common in football, for anyone worried about suffering an injury, or just looking for that extra level of protection on the pitch, choose a PhysioRoom ankle support.
Take Inspiration From Andy Murray's Ankle Brace
In tennis, your footwork is extremely important as this allows you to race back and forth across the court to return the ball to your opponent. However, with this comes the risk of injuries such as a twisted ankle, or ankle sprain. Tennis legend Andy Murray has famously battled against repetitive ankle injuries through his career, answering many people's question of Why Does Andy Murray Wear Ankle Braces?
In 2016, Murray won his second Wimbledon title while wearing an ankle support throughout. He broadcasted the importance of protecting your ankle joints to the world, and now anyone taking part in sport can take inspiration from this and take extra care when battling an injury. A sports ankle support from our highly stocked range can provide you with all the support, stability, and protection needed to help you achieve greatness, and avoid injury.
Ankle Support & Physio Exercises For Sports Injuries
A sprained ankle is the most common sports injury, so knowing how to treat this properly is important. Wearing an ankle support brace will help provide stability and support to the ankle, however, as the recovery period progresses it is also important to build strength back up in the ankle through physical therapy. Using a wobble board can help increase strength in the ankle joint, which will help it recover from injury, as well as protecting it against further injuries later down the line.
