my dancer sprained her ankle horribly this past spring, right before the recital and her national dance comp. a trip to the dr (no break) and taking time off to heal and she was back to normal. doing all sorts of flips at the trampoline park this summer, ect... last night, missed a step and turned the same ankle.
thankfully it's not nearly as bad and she can bear light weight on it. she is using a drugstore brace for support today and can walk almost normally. her physical is in a couple of weeks and i would like to get something better for her to use during dance practice.
our gym just recently came out with some new rules - no braces allowed in the gym w/o a dr's note and they aren't to use drug store braces b/c they say they don't properly support the ankle/knee/ect....
so my question is, do any of your gymnasts use prescription ankle braces? do they exist? our dance studio doesn't have a rule like that but if there are better braces out there, i want one for her! i will ask her dr at the appointment but i'd like to know what i'm asking about when i go in. haha
