ANKLE WRAP NEOPRENE

About

An ankle wrap made from neoprene is a therapeutic support device designed to provide adjustable compression, warmth, and stability to the ankle joint. Neoprene, a synthetic rubber material, is highly effective at retaining body heat, which helps to increase blood flow to the injured area. This enhanced circulation can accelerate the healing process, reduce pain, and alleviate muscle stiffness. The adjustable nature of the wrap, often secured with hook-and-loop fasteners, allows users to customise the level of compression to suit their comfort and support needs. It is commonly used for managing acute and chronic ankle conditions such as sprains, strains, tendinitis, and arthritis. The neoprene material also offers good shock absorption and durability, making it suitable for both daily wear and light athletic activities, providing robust support while maintaining flexibility.
