This application can be used for a variety of ankle issues including sprained ankles, inflamed tendons in the ankle, stretched ligaments, inflamed tendons, or general ankle weakness. The added ankle support will give you the confidence and support during the rehabilitation phase of an injury as well as the stability and pain relief during activity*.

ANKLE INJURY CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS

Ankle injuries can happen a number of different ways. They can occur during an acute injury, or a sudden rolling or twisting of the ankle. These types of injuries generally involve great pain and swelling. Typically, acute injuries are inversion ankle sprains wherein the foot rolls to the inside while stepping on an uneven surface such as a curb, hole, or root. The first strip applied will help to keep the foot everted and decrease your tendency to suffer another sprain. The second and third strips provide excellent proprioceptive stability.

Overuse or chronic ankle injuries occur overtime and are often the result of over training or training in poor conditions such as inappropriate footwear, uneven or dense surfaces, or simply too much too soon. These injuries are characterized by inflammation and are generally the result of other injuries. The stability provided by this application allows these inflamed tendons and ligaments to rest and avoid further injury. For athletes and active individuals, learning how to prevent ankle sprains is essential to reducing recurrence and maintaining long-term ankle stability.

How KT Tape Can Help Improve Ankle Stability

Ankle pain, instability or weakness can lead to chronic sprains and tearing of ligaments and tendons and lead to other injuries. Unlike traditional ankle braces, KT Tape provides support that is very comfortable and allows you to have a greater range of motion. If you’re wondering how to KT Tape an ankle for added support, this application also helps to provide support without limiting your range of motion or decreasing your blood flow.
