About Adjustable Ankle Support Strap

If you’re an active participant in sport, you’ll know that injuries are par for the course. But they shouldn’t prevent you from participating in sport or physical activity in the long-term. So, what can you do to protect joints such as the ankle while taking part in your chosen activity?

One easy preventative measure is to wear an ankle support brace which will help prevent injury by adding stability to the joint when running, jumping and twisting.  The adjustable ankle strap is a one size fits all product available from Body Plus Direct which, research shows, reduces the risk of sustaining an ankle injury.

Should I wear a magnetic knee brace?

Magnetic therapy is a popular alternative medical practice which has been used for hundreds of years and still remains popular today. The thought behind magnetic therapy is that it uses static magnets to balance the naturally occurring magnetic and electric fields in your body to help reduce pain and inflammation. A Silicone magnetic knee brace has magnets strategically placed around the knee joint, especially the kneecap and aims to combine the support of a hinged support knee brace with the effects of magnetic therapy.

So how does it work?

• Magnetic therapy is said to attract and repel charged particles in the blood creating movement and heat. This causes blood vessels to widen which accelerates healing by introducing fresh oxygen and nutrients and removing toxins. 

• It’s also thought to trigger the nervous system, reducing the pain signals sent to the brain.

• And practitioners say it benefits the whole body by improving sleep quality and activity levels and reducing stress.

While it’s considered safe for most people to use low intensity magnetic therapy you shouldn’t wear one if you:

• Use a pacemaker

• Use an insulin pump

• Are pregnant

• Are having an X-ray or MRI.
