My daughter broke her ankle last year and has been in a heavy duty ankle brace for all activities since then. The physical therapist said long term use of ankle braces that immobilize the ankle are not recommended, so we wanted to find something to reinforce her ankles at practices to get out of the brace and just use the brace in games. She's been using the compression socks for several weeks and she loves them. They're giving her the support she needs at basketball practice without such a loss in movement.
