Ever since my 8th grade year i had the worst time with my ankles. I remember my freshman year i tore all 3 lig. in my right ankle then as soon as it was better i tore all 3 in my left. Finally my mom, who is goin to school to be a physical therapist assisstant, got me to go to her boss and do strength training for my ankle. I had ulra-sounds, estim, and rubberband strengthening for about a month. i have to say now that i do the rubberband strengthening i have been sprain free for about 4 or 5 months.
Shoes...idk maybe it's just me and the fact i constantly think about it, i dont like to wear nike shox for basketball. i wore them my 8th and 9th grade year and i constantly rolled my ankles. I now wear a diff. shoe than my team because they (whoever we get our shoes from) kept sending the wrong shoe. I have to say i am glad they sent the wrong shoe 3 times.
Ankle braces: IF YOU ARE AN ATHLETE WEAR THEM!! GOOD OR BAD ANKLES BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW!! be safe.
