Better than all my AFOs, in-shoe and out-.

My title says it all!

We love hearing that the RecoverX Brace has stood out compared to the other AFOs you’ve tried. Thanks for sharing your experience, Arnold!

Achilles Injury

After having a torn Achilles tendon and trying numerous braces I finally found the one! It has given me back the ability to play pickleball again. The ease of over the shoe wearing along with the support of a lightweight brace is key for active recovery. I would highly recommend to anyone needing, but questioning which one.

Thank you, Debbie! Back on the pickleball court is exactly where we love to see you. It’s great to hear the AthleticX Brace delivered the lightweight support and confidence you needed to get active again. Thanks for the recommendation!

So far - so good 😊

I’ve been using the brace for only a few weeks as my physical therapy will soon be over - very little activity as my broken ankle continues to heal and get stronger - looking forward to putting it to the “test” in November on a hunting trip to the mountains of Virginia - I really think it will make a big difference and will give me confidence while climbing some pretty steep terrain - if I can still climb to my favorite deerstand on top of BullPasture Mountain I will give the brace “ 10 stars” - will soon find out ?

Thank you for sharing, Larry! BullPasture Mountain sounds like a great test for the AthleticX Brace. We’re glad it’s giving you confidence as your ankle continues to get stronger, and we’ll be rooting for you to make it back to that favorite deerstand.

Hurt my ankle so bad! No protection I just wasted my money.

It really hurt my ankle I had to take it off and just limp! It didn’t protect my ankle at all and rather hurt.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Audrey. Every injury and recovery is different, but experiencing increased pain while wearing the brace is unusual and something we take seriously. Our team will reach out directly to better understand your injury, check the fit and setup, and see how we can help.

Godsend

I was struggling with PTTD apparently caused by a fallen arch. I did PT for months and only wore orthopedic shoes. I had lost my ability to walk any distance. Even with improvement, a walk through the grocery store required days of recovery.

The recoverX gave me immediate mobility. After a few months of daily use I suddenly realized that my pain was gone. I no longer wear it around the house but I do wear it everywhere I go.

Tayco service and support have been excellent.

Getting back to walking without days of recovery is a huge milestone! We’re thrilled the RecoverX Brace has helped you regain mobility and that our team has been there to support you along the way. Thank you for sharing your experience, Robert!
