Once you feel pain in your ankle it is vital to find the cause of the problem. The main cause behind ankle pain can be due to strain on muscle and ligament from overuse or a biomechanical fault.

Usually, a physiotherapist gives advice on whether or not an ankle brace is required to treat the ankle injury. It is important to get on top of these issues as soon as they arise to avoid further muscle imbalance, weakness or a progression in the injury.

If you feel ankle pain or have been diagnosed and an ankle brace is recommended as part of your treatment, choosing the right ankle brace is key to a speedier rehabilitation journey and reduction in pain.

Choosing the right ankle brace will give you peace of mind while you engage in your favorite sport or everyday activity. Take a look at our table below to find the best ankle brace for your medical condition.
