Empowerband Is The Only Ankle Support Specifically Designed For Football
Football is a demanding game, the high forces and quick changes of direction put stress on all areas of the body, particularly ankles which lead to it being theĀ most common of injuries in football. Modern football boots have also become paper-thin for performance purposes and offer less protection to players and which have led to high profile injuries.
ā
As a footballer who has suffered an injury you want to get back to playing as fast as possible, you want peace of mind that your ankle is protected reducingĀ the risk of re-injury and you want to regain your performance level that was lost. Empowerband has been developed over 4 years in conjunction with Northumbria,Ā Teeside Universities, and FootballsĀ top Physiotherapists. Specifically engineeredĀ for Football to improve the rehabilitation process of ankle injuries, reducingĀ the risk of injury, speeding recovery & improvingĀ performance
Three problems withĀ traditional supports, braces, and tapingĀ
ā
There is an abundance of ankle supports braces and tape available on the market but how many are created specifically forĀ football? and what are the 3 main problems?
1. Any player who has worn any traditional supports, strapping, or tapeĀ under their sock will know they areĀ uncomfortable and bulky, as a player you wantĀ to be light, fast, and agile and not be weighed down by clunky ankle support.
2. Taping requires a physio to fit correctly which not every player has access to especially at the grassroots level. Taping which many players don'tĀ know loses 80% of its support efficiencyĀ within 20 minutes and becomes ineffective very quickly.
ā
3. All supports and braces are designed to various degrees to limit the range of motion of the ankle to prevent overstretching and rolling of the ankle.Ā Tape and lace braces are designed to limit the range of ankle motion the most, but then preventĀ the active use of the ankle ligaments and tendons which slows rehabilitation, weakensĀ yourĀ ankle in time, and leadsĀ to a dependency on support. This also in football puts you at a disadvantage as you need a natural range of motion to control the ball so it can have an impact on your performance. Your neoprene andĀ compression ankle sleeves provide proprioception qualities butĀ won't limit the range of motion at all and leave players open to re-injury.
ā
The solution; A revolutionary interlockingĀ design to solve these 3 problems
ā
1. The Empowerband is the best Football ankle support and has a revolutionary over boot designĀ that eliminates the bulk and discomfort of tape and strappings that distract you from playing, the feeling of being lighter faster, and more agile as you move is a huge advantage in football both physically and mentally.
2. Re-usable, adjustable, and efficient. Empowerbands interlocking design combined with its material properties maintains 100% support efficiency andĀ interconnects your boot and ankle which increasesĀ proprioception levels and speeds reaction to instability reducing the risk of ankle roll providing players with the best ankle support for Football.
3. The interlocking design also provides controlled movement of the ankle joint a balance between locked support and compression supports to maximize stability andĀ prevent injury while allowing movement to promote stimulus to ligaments and tendons to re-strengthen them as you move.
Reflex Technology
ā
The biggest advantage the Empowerband Football ankle support has that no other support can give is the elastic spring that it provides as you move, a clever combination of design and materials provide the right tensile strength to mimic your ankle ligaments and tendons as you move which are themselves like elastic bands. When you injure your ankle these ligaments can be overstretched or tear and when repair the elasticity is lost and takes time to re-build. The Empowerband Football ankle support brings this elasticity, strength, and power back to your ankle as you move to boostĀ performance, speed of movement, regaining stability, andĀ confidence as you move. It also helps reducesĀ ankle fatigue as you play which helps reduce the risk ofĀ re-injury asĀ studies have shown you becomeĀ more susceptibleĀ to injury when fatigued.Ā ThisĀ also relievesĀ pain and reduces swelling and stiffness during and after exercise. Reflex technologyĀ actively promotesĀ the use of your ankle ligaments and tendons as you move to helpĀ re-buildĀ strength to them and transition to a full recovery and a non-dependency on support.
