Since 1978, the Aircast Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace
has been the "standard of care" for the functional management of ankle
injuries and has been cited in over 100 medical journals for its
superior performance in helping to heal ankle injuries.
Each Aircast Ankle Brace features
anatomically designed shells lined with the patented Duplex aircell
system. This exclusive system incorporates two pre-inflated overlapping
aircells, distal and proximal, that provide support and produce
graduated compression during ambulation. The compression promotes
efficient edema reduction in addition to helping accelerate
rehabilitation.
All Air-Stirrup Ankle Braces (except for the pediatric model) come with a patient guide providing information on brace application and optional rehabilitation exercises.

Kool N Fit Sport Conditioning Spray increases the blood flow to your muscles providing an increased supply of oxygen and nutrients giving you more energy during competition and recovery.
Tips:
Inversion therapy
is a method of treating back pain by diminishing the influence of
gravity, reducing the compression of the vertebrae and discs and
allowing the muscles and ligaments that encase the spine to relax.
This is typically performed on what's called an inversion table. The table allows you to lie on your back relaxed, in an inverted position. This position eliminates some or all gravitational compression, depending upon how far back you position your body.
Inversion therapy is the safest, quickest and most effective way to increase the space between your vertebrae. Numerous clinical studies published in reputable medical journals have confirmed that inversion really does increase the separation between the discs of the spine, which brings relief from back pain.
For instance, one study considered 175 people who were unable to work due to back pain. After eight inversion treatments, 155 of the patients were able to return to work full time.
Other benefits people experience with a regular program of Inversion therapy :
* Maintains your height. Regularly inverting will help you avoid the "shrinkage" others your age are showing because of the cumulative effect of gravity over a lifetime.
Improves circulation. When you're inverted, your body can circulate your blood aided by gravity rather than having to work against it. In addition, with inversion, gravity helps the lymphatic system clear faster, easing the aches and pains of stiff muscles.
Relieves stress. A full-body stretch feels rejuvenating! And the inversion table makes that relaxation easier to attain than climbing on a jungle gym or taking a yoga class. Many people sleep better with regular inversion therapy.
Heightens mental alertness. Any upside-down activity increases the supply of oxygen to the brain, which many authorities believe helps you maintain mental sharpness.
Increases flexibility and range of motion. With inversion, your joints stay healthy and supple, so that you can easily remain as active as you were in your younger years.
Improves posture. The stretch that comes with reversing the direction of gravity helps you sit, stand and move with more ease and grace.
Realigns the spine after workouts. Running and other aerobic activities inevitably compress your spine, frequently unevenly. One-sided activities like golf or tennis often pull the spine out of alignment. During inversion, minor misalignments often correct themselves naturally.
The hamstring stretches done while lying on the back are
gentler and place less stress on the back than those done
while sitting. Depending on a person’s specific medical
condition and level of pain, the lying down position may be
preferable and comfortable. In particular, a person with low
back pain should choose whichever position is most tolerable
for their back while still giving a gentle stretch.
