Support The Ankle Joint

Even the smallest ankle injury has the potential to greatly hinder your movement or stop it all together, rendering it an exceptionally tough break to have to deal with.

Acute ankle injuries like sprains and strains can lead to some painful recurring injuries if they’re not treated or cared for properly. Our sweat-wicking bamboo ankle supports are ideal for keeping your ankle stabilised and taking away pressure, aiding your physical health and mitigating the odds of sustaining further damage.

Ankle damage can affect your quality of life fairly drastically, as it may impair your ability to put any pressure on your bottom half, preventing you from walking freely.

Living with this pain can be alarming, especially when recovery often consists of gradually pushing yourself further to condition your strength back to normal.

If this sounds familiar, then don’t panic – our ankle supports are here to help. They’re comfortable, breathable, and unintrusive, making them ideal to wear underneath your normal clothes without getting in the way when you walk.

If you’re worried about an ankle injury getting in the way of your fitness training, a support may be able to give you the confidence you need to continue hitting the gym without fear.

Ankle Compression

Due to their fantastic ability to provide the wearer with compression therapy, our ankle supports can be instrumental in combatting the painful effects of injuries and ailments like tendinitis, a common injury that many people suffer from at some point in their life, even if they don’t practice sports. Tendinitis is often the name for tennis elbow, golfers elbow, or Achilles tendinitis (one of the more common ankle injuries).

Living with tendinitis is no fun for anyone, as it can be extremely and constantly painful, and there’s every chance it will get worse through overuse if measures like a support system aren’t put in place.

Achille’s tendinopathy is another painful injury our ankle support can help you with. While this particular tendon is extremely strong, if it’s suffered previous damage, it may be more susceptible to sports and everyday injuries in the future, making the added support a necessity.

For those of you hoping to tackle physiotherapy, or you want to ease yourself back into the swing of running and doing exercise, but you’re not quite confident enough yet, the ankle support may be a great way to help you put your mind and your ankle at ease.

Foot and Ankle Blood Flow

Poor blood flow to the feet and ankles can result in pain and stiffness, impeding the body’s natural ability to heal and possibly hindering your mobility at the same time.

Our bamboo charcoal ankle supports can improve blood flow by up to 40% compared to regular supports, expediting your recovery times.

The ankle support isn’t just an advantage to those with injuries, however, as the increased support and blood flow might be able to enhance your workouts, even when you’re in peak physical health.

Moreover, exercises that require you to stabilise yourself to participate in can benefit from the added support and the resulting increase in circulation. Yoga and Pilates tend to demand a high level of balance, so if you’re struggling with your posture, an ankle support could be the answer, as it can help you reduce sway and aid stability.
