Ankle Sporting Braces

/in /by

An Ankle Sporting Brace, is a pull-on strap style brace, which is worn around the ankle to promote immobilisation, while allowing it to heal from sprains and other minor injuries.

Ankle Braces should be worn from anywhere from 10 days to six weeks, which is dependent on the severity of your injury. You should continue to wear the Ankle Brace for as long as swelling, pain or instability in the ankle is experienced.

Studies show that an Ankle Brace used by athletes lowers the incidence of acute Ankle Injuries, however an Ankle Brace will not heal an injury in the Ankle, should the injury be severe. Sporting Ankle Braces are designed to fit comfortably in a persons’ shoes to provide extra support during sports or general activities throughout the day.

After an operation or in the event of slight sprains or repeated overloading, the ligaments of the foot are often weakened and require increased stabilisation, which is provided by our range of BioSport ankle wear. The active support with individually adjustable strap systems gives your ankle reliable support even whilst in motion and protects against the lateral twisting of the foot.

What makes a good Ankle Sporting Brace?

As there are several types of Ankle Braces available on the market, you must determine which Ankle Brace is right for you, and the BioSport Ankle Brace provides the following key benefits:

  • Increased stability of the ankle on the move
  • Breathable material for high wearing comfort
  • Ideal for sport thanks to the protection against lateral twisting

Can an Ankle Brace Weaken the Ankle?

Ankle braces function by locking down the joint, and for people who suffer from weak ankles from an injury, then a Sporting Ankle Brace is very effective in limiting motion during rehabilitation.

However, an Ankle Brace should not be worn every day for injury prevention, as you will be more likely to weaken your ankle from the consistent use. As recommended, a Sporting Ankle Brace should only be worn during the designated rehabilitation period.

How to strengthen your Ankles

As Ankle Braces are designed to provide support to your Ankles during the healing process, or when you may be playing sport where you may need that extra bit of support, it is also recommended to implement strengthening exercises to ensure your ankles have every opportunity to not only recover, but also get stronger.

The following tips are recommended to Strengthen your ankle:

  • Apply Sporting Tape

Elbow Sporting Braces

/in /by


An Elbow Sporting Brace, is a wrap-around strap style brace. The elbow sporting brace helps to relieve tendon pain such as tennis elbow (epicondylitis lateral) and similar muscle and tendon attachment site irritation or inflammation. Its integral pressure cushion (pad) relieves pressure on the tendon attachments at precisely the right points. It can be worn on either the left or the right arm.

Studies show that the use of an elbow brace helps to reduce pain and improves grip strength for athletes who suffer from tennis elbow. Such athletes that suffer from this condition include Golfers and Tennis players. The elbow sporting brace effectively works by absorbing the pain as a result from the force that would normally be transmitted from the elbow injury.

Do elbow braces help with elbow tendonitis?

The short answer is YES!

When athletes wear an Elbow Sporting Brace, they may feel some pain be alleviated which may be associated with elbow tendonitis. The Sporting Elbow Brace helps by applying pressure to the muscles and as a result, helps to stabilize the affected area in the elbow, when the elbow brace is worn.

How should the elbow brace be applied?

The elbow brace is a strap which should be wrapped around the forearm, approximately 6 cm from the top of the elbow. The elbow brace should be applied over the largest part of the muscles on the back of the forearm. The strap should then be tightened in this position and it should not be tightened too tight. It should be comfortable to wear, without cutting off the blood circulation to the arm.

Elbow Braces work a little differently from Knee or Back support braces, as they do not hold the elbow in place, as this would not allow the arm or elbow to move freely. They work by applying pressure to the affected area, to ultimately help relieve pain.

What makes a good Elbow Sporting Brace?

There are many types of elbow braces on the market, but when determining which elbow brace is the right choice for you, you should consider elbow braces which provide the following key benefits:

  • Is made using Nano Technology
