Is it okay to be physical with this on? I'm in cross country and if I have all that tape on my ankle is it okay to run 6mi?

[aholz11]

@AlexxisPlata yes you can and I recommend it on trails, especially trails with ruts and rocks and branches if you are susceptible to inversion ankle sprains, especially in the fall, when leaves have fallen and cover those obstacles. Just had my first athlete sprain his ankle on the trails. Most definitely a good option!!

but thanks so much. i think i got the just of wrapping my ankle.

[aholz11]

@meggysoccer09 Yes dorsiflexed to a position that forms a right angle with the shin.

how do you remove it after?

[aholz11]

@tend0r Tape scissors or Cramer Shark cutters or Mueller M cutter

@dcmholliday I tried it. It seemed to help, but it bugged me a bit and it's hard to put your socks on and take them off.

I wish I would have done this years ago now severe arthritis has taken a toll trust me the price of tape is well worth it if you can't do it get a swede o ankle brace

COOL!! This really helps!! I have the same yellow and white tape!

[dcmholliday]

@awesomenator6 i have the same question. did this work for soccer?

[dcmholliday]

How restrictive is this wrap when you try to kick a soccer ball?

[grabkey13]

Thanks. That really helps me :)

This is great... I reference this every few months - it seems someone i know is always twisting an ankle and i have to help them out!

[tsunamiplayer3]

he doesn't basketweave the stirrups/horseshoes.....you lose a bit of stability this way
