Ankle Sprain Prevention

Athletes that play basketball put their ankles at risk anytime they step on the court. Jumping, laninding, twisting, turning or even running quickly can increase the likelihood of an ankle sprain. Using EnPress Ankle Commpression Support Socks, athletes can now conveniently stabilize their ankles On-The-Go for practice or the game to reduce the chances of spraining their ankles during high performance play.

Basketball is a sport that relies on your ankle joints to absorb repeated impacts during play. From jumpshots, to layups and flashy dunks, you put strain on your ankle joints on almost every play. EnPress Ankle Commpression Support Socks uses a dual strap brace paired with an ankle compression sock to help blood flow around these joints as well as adding more stablization to your ankle joints.

How do Ankle Sprains Happen?

In basketball, ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries to happen according to Stamford Health. Each time an athlete jumps from the ground during play, there is a risk of landing on their ankle the wrong way and stretching the ligaments too far which causes a sprain. 

How to Prevent Ankle Sprains in Basketball

Many trainers rely on conditioning and strengthening of the ankle and muscles surrounding the ankle to prevent sprains. While athletes cannot 100% prevent sprains from happening, proper stretching, weight training and ankle support can help reduce the risk of an athlete spraining their ankle.
