For someone who is active, an ankle sprain can be frustrating, and really sore! So it's in our best interest for you to overcome it as fast as possible!
The four products below have been recommended to, and used by hundreds of our previous patients - all with great results. They are the best of their kind, that we have found through experience. They can all be purchased through Amazon, so we've included links to save you time at the local shopping centre!
1. Balance Cushion (With Free Pump)
Balance cushions are fantastic, cheap pieces of equipment to work on balance and joint proprioception. They provide you with an unstable surface to challenge the ligaments within your joints to fire in order to keep you balanced. This strengthens them and helps improve the overall control and strength of your joint. They are the number one piece of equipment to purchase following a joint sprain but have a number of other uses too.
2. Ibuleve Max 10% Ibuprofen Gel
Are you in pain? Are you looking for a gel to reduce your pain and swelling fast and effectively? Have you used brands before that haven’t touched your pain? Are you looking for the strongest ibuprofen gel on the market? Then this is what you need.
Do you already have a pain relief gel that isn’t working? Check the concentration %. A lot of the main brands are just 1-2% in concentration. This pain relief gel boasts a huge 10% ibuprofen content, which means it is much stronger than others on the shelves, and the strongest you can buy.
3. Koolpak Reusable Hot & Cold Pack (Set of 3)
Handily capable of being used as either a heat pack or an ice pack, this set of 3 Koolpak hot/cold packs can help reduce pain of an injury at any staged.

This set of 3 packs means you don’t have to wait for one to freeze before using it again, you can use one while they others are in the freezer! The fact their are 3 in each order also helps anyone looking to use contrast therapy where they alternate between hot and cold packs to improve circulation and speed up recovery.
