Oprotec Ankle sleeve

What is it?
The Ankle Sleeve has been specially designed to help provide equal compression and stable support to weak or injured ankles and prevents overuse of the ankle and retrogression of the ankle joint.

When can I use it?
It is suitable for wearing on a daily basis to relieve the pain and stiffness of a sore ankle as well as a follow-up treatment for achilles ruptures. This functional product can be used as a preventative or treatment option for day-to-day living or for a number of sporting activities. The compressive nature of this support will ease mild ankle and foot osteoarthritis

How does it work?
Although thinner than neoprene the compressive design of the support offers a high level of support and is ideal for those who dislike the bulk and/or heat generation of neoprene.

The breathable compressive four-way stretch of the material targets support to the areas most requiring it, mimicking the support and action planes of key ligaments and tendons to reinforce them.

The compressive element also stimulates blood flow which can help prevent the build-up of lactic acid during and post activity. This reduces the likelihood of cramp and stiffness whilst also being a valuable recovery and rehabilitation tool from injury
