Health benefits

Laced ankle braces are useful for preventing or reducing the seriousness of injuries to the anterior talfibular ligament. It is the tearing or stretching of this ligament that causes around 80 percent of ankle injuries.

This laced guard provides support and comfort for rehabilitating ankle injuries. Once you are participating in sports again after an injury, it can also help prevent future injuries. The removable plastic medical inserts provide extra support when you need it during your recovery period.

Advice

Please read the product packaging before use, and follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Wear over sweat socks. The guard will take two or three days to 'break in', and if blistering occurs during the break in period use a foam pad and tape (or adhesive plaster) to cover the affected area. If any rashes or skin problems do occur stop wearing the support, and consult a doctor if the condition continues.

Wash the support in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry or dry clean.
