What Is an Ankle Brace?
An ankle brace is a supportive device worn around the ankle to stabilize, protect, and aid recovery from injuries or chronic conditions. Essential for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone prone to ankle issues, ankle braces play a vital role in health and wellness by reducing pain, preventing further injury, and supporting daily activities.
