Say Goodbye to Outdated Recovery Methods
For years, RICE—Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation—was the standard response to ankle sprains. It was familiar, easy to remember, and widely used by athletes and clinicians. But science evolves—and so does the way we heal.
Today, POLICE has taken the lead: Protect, Optimal Loading, Ice, Compression, Elevation. And when it comes to the “Protect” part, no product delivers better protection and ankle stabilization than the TayCo AthleticX Brace, widely recognized as one of the best ankle braces for sprained ankles.
Why POLICE Replaced RICE
The main shift? Movement matters. While RICE emphasized rest, recent studies show that too much rest can actually slow ankle injury recovery—causing stiffness, muscle loss, and extended downtime.
POLICE offers a smarter approach to ankle sprain recovery:
- Protect the injury from further damage
- Optimal Loading (gentle, progressive movement) to accelerate healing
- Ice to manage pain and swelling
- Compression to stabilize and support the ankle joint
- Elevation to reduce inflammation
The biggest upgrade here is Optimal Loading—helping the body heal faster by promoting safe, supported movement. That’s where the AthleticX Brace excels.
The Best Ankle Brace for Support and Mobility
Protection shouldn’t mean complete immobilization. That’s where the TayCo Brace redefines what a high-performance ankle support brace can do.
Originally developed for post-op and orthopedic use, TayCo Brace external ankle support products are now a favorite in sports medicine, rehab clinics, and job sites alike. Unlike traditional ankle braces, TayCo Brace ankle stabilizers are worn outside the shoe, delivering superior ankle stability and comfort without restricting mobility.
