Stronger Ankles Without Strapping Or A Single Rehab Exercise

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.
