Why Is Ankle Taping Better Than a Brace?

When it comes to providing support for the ankle, both ankle taping and using an ankle brace are common methods. 

One key aspect to consider is customization. Ankle taping allows for a more personalized fit. A trained professional can carefully apply the tape directly to the ankle, conforming it precisely to the individual's anatomy and specific needs. This level of customization can be difficult to achieve with an ankle brace, which often comes in standard sizes and designs.

With ankle taping, the tape can be applied in a way that targets specific areas of concern or weakness in the ankle. For example, if there is a particular ligament that needs more support, the tape can be strategically placed to provide extra stability to that area. In contrast, an ankle brace may offer general support but might not be able to address specific problem areas as effectively.
