Jumping, running, or pushing off, all your most important sporting moves come down to your ankles. You've probably discovered through a nasty trip, unlucky fall, or maybe a particularly unforgiving pair of shoes, that it doesn't take much to cause an injury, and to be out of action for weeks on end. Keeping your injured ankle in the best position for recovery is no easy task, even walking can place a painful amount of pressure on the joint, aggravating the issue. The PSB Ankle Brace is key to staying active, ensuring ankles remain in a healthy position for speedy recovery without compromising your freedom of motion.
For athletes suffering from light sprains or preventing recurring injuries, or for those who take part in sports where shoes are not worn, the PSB Ankle Brace 8 is recommended.
