Re: Recommended ankle brace for ankle sprain prevention

Keep in mind that repeat injuries leave joint damage that can be misserable as you age. This stuff come back to haunt you. The fact that you are looking for a solution means you are hooked to the sport, so remember you will want to do it when you are 70 as well! Yes that's right... I am trying to b...

But I am inter...

Any other suggestion? I am trying to understand ...
