The Brace the World Needs

"Bad case of tendinitis in my ankle lead me to this brace. I did not want the traditional walking cast and standard ankle braces were not doing the trick. I love how I look almost normal with the brace on and that it does not impede my ability to do normal tasks."

Sarah N.
10/10 Recommend This!

"The RecoverX Brace was the best thing I have gotten for my ankle. I have chronic ankle instability and chronic thinning of my ATFL ligament. This is the first thing I have gotten that has given me pain relief and comfort when working on my feet."

Alex V.
Couldn't Have Played

"During my sophomore year of college I had an ankle injury, and wearing TayCo helped me not miss a snap the rest of the season."

Joe Alt, #76 Los Angeles
True Professionals, a Rare Find!

"TayCo Brace has made a huge difference for my sister, who has Cerebral Palsy. Can’t say enough good things about them for going the extra mile to ensure the fit and comfort suited her and was easy to put on."

Diane F.
Not Just for Ankle Sprains

"My daughter suffered a severe brain injury which left her with paralysis in her left calf and foot. I’m very impressed with the design!! She was able to walk 1/2 mile in the brace with her walker without pain. I believe the brace has the capability of replacing most AFOs."

Lisa Z.
Returned to Play Sooner Than Expected

"Throughout my college career I dealt with several high ankle sprains. The TayCo Ankle Brace allowed me to return to practice and play in games much sooner than expected. Not only did this help my performance but it also made me more confident I would not re-injure my ankle."

Liam Eichenberg, #74 Miami
Back to Work

"Very lightweight and practical walking brace for those who work! It is so much more liberating then a big old standard walking boot, plus I can wear safety shoes which are required for work. I lost 2 jobs because of the boot, the brace is a game changer. The old ways are great if you don’t really want to be mobile, I’ll let the data do the talking."

KENNETH B.
Better than a Boot

"After a diagnosis of you must wear a boot for 4-6 weeks and knowing from past experiences that I would have all sorts of compensatory issues after, I said no way. I then started looking for alternatives. This is so much better!"

Pauline C.
Problem Solver

"I’ve struggled for years with ankle pain and swelling due to arthritis. I have tried every brace known to man. The RecoverX Brace has stopped my pain and is now helping me to correct my gait! Cheers to TayCo Brace for being my problem solver!"
