When it comes to exercise and fitness, it’s vital that you do
everything in your power to protect yourself. The ankles for example, are some
of the most vulnerable parts of the anatomy during high-impact exercise, which
is why ankle support, braces, wraps, and other pieces of support in general, are so
beneficial. If you’ve ever experienced a sprained ankle, or any other form of
ankle injury, you’ll know how incredibly painful it can be. Recently however, with
all of the advances in modern technology, products like Phiten’s ankle support, braces,
and wraps, have been found to provide more benefits than ever before. Here’s a
more detailed look at ankle support, as we look at the benefits, before looking
at some of the more popular products Phiten has to offer!
Discomfort relief – The key
benefit of ankle support, braces and
wraps in general, is that it offers you discomfort
relief. Whether you have suffered a recent injury, or if you’re trying to push
through an existing one, ankle support, braces and wraps are effective. By alleviating
the pressure placed on the ankle,the less discomfort the individual is likely
to experience.
Discomfort prevention – Another
advantage we’ll be looking at today, is preventing discomfort. It’s all well
and good treating an injury, but ideally you want to prevent discomfort from
occurring. In one study conducted by the University of Wisconsin School of
Medicine and Public Health, it was found that Football players wearing ankle
braces, were 61% less likely to suffer from acute ankle injuries while out on
the field. This was regardless of their size, age, athletic ability, or level
of competition.
