Stronger Ankles Without Strapping Or A Single Rehab Exercise

Weak, unsteady ankles mean games spent on the sidelines, watching your team on the field. It means churning through the strapping tape every day, constantly having sticky ankles when you rip the tape off. It means being prescribed countless exercises by countless health professionals, while knowing that there’s just no way you’re going to be able to keep them up so often and for so long.

This has been the experience of many of our patients, who had been told that unless they wanted to wear a big bulky brace, or consider surgery, there wasn’t too much more that could be done for their ankles. Because weak ankles are hard to fix – until we started prescribing the EXO-L brace. Now we’re seeing patients feel confident on the field and give the game their all without spraining their ankles.

 

Weak Ankles Don’t Need Surgery

Let’s set the record straight about surgery: it is not a ‘quick fix’, and it is never your only choice when it comes to weak ankles. Surgeries are invasive, complex procedures that have long recoveries and always carry risks and side effects. They’re also expensive without guaranteeing any results.

 

Strapping Tape Isn’t A Long-Term Answer

We love a good strap to the feet or legs. It gives many of our patients significant relief when they first come in with foot or leg pain. This is exactly when we use it – when they’re just at the start of their recovery and need some quick relief and support. Taping is not designed to be a long-term solution – it carries a lot of admin – and ongoing costs.

 

Ankles Get Worse Over Time, Not Better

A number of patients we’ve talked to with ankle problems tell us that they were waiting for their ankles to get better on their own, and were surprised they hadn’t yet. The truth is that ankles tend to get worse over time, not better. This is because we continue to load and place pressure on our ankles as we use them, meaning they never get a proper chance to recover.

 

Had Orthotics That Didn’t Work?

Occasionally we see patients who were prescribed orthotics for their ankles, and were disappointed when they didn’t work and they suffered yet another ankle sprain. We get it – it’s frustrating and deflating. That’s why we don’t prescribe orthotics for weak ankles – we offer the EXO-L brace. And we can say in full confidence that in our 20 years of podiatry, we’ve never seen anything like it – or the results it’s producing.

 

Not A Single Rehab Exercise Required – Instant Results

The brace requires no tedious rehab exercises to work. From the moment you put it on, it gets to work, snapping into action like a seatbelt right when you’re about to sprain your ankle. It’s not just saving our patients from pain and time spent recovering – it’s giving them back their enjoyment of their favourite sport, time with their loved ones, and their health.

The best part? It’s proven to prevent ankle sprains – and is helping international athletes play sprain-free and with full confidence for the first time in years.

What people say…

Receptionists. So lovely. Welcoming smiles, and very approachable. Very comfortable chairs, easy to sit and stand up. Great for people with mobility issues. My appointment time was spot on. A very professional podiatrist. Brian Hudson. I was embarrassed with my feet condition. Brian listened and put me at ease. My appointment time went fast..but so much was achieved in greatly getting rid of my feet pain. Arriving in pain 9/10 and to be reduced to a pain level 3 on leaving the clinic. The next morning my pain level is 1. It Feels so good to be nearly complete pain free after such a very long period of time.

First time visiting a podiatrist and I was so impressed by the friendly, welcoming staff! Jess was so professional, kind and clearly knows a lot about feet! She explained my treatment plan really clearly so I knew exactly what to expect. Lovely Ali at reception was gorgeous too – super helpful and friendly. I’m very happy to drive over from Palmy for my future appointments. I don’t usually write reviews but really wanted to support such a great business!

Adam has a very friendly and professional manner. The procedure on my son’s toe was well explained whilst making him feel at ease. We were seen at short notice which was very much appreciated also. Adam has given us a thorough treatment plan and followed this up with email including photos.

Adam was brilliant and is a superb listener. I walked out with hope in my heart. The receptionist was lovely and easy to talk to. Thanks!

We traveled from Taranaki several times to visit Adam and his team for treatment of toe nail fungus. They are diligent, considerate and dedicated people. Highly recommend.
