I want to start tapping my son’s ankle for playing soccer. He received a moderate sprain a week ago, And I want to do some preventive maintenance.

 

I purchased some tape off of Lazada but it was horrible and not usable. I want to be able to touch and feel when I’m buying.

 

Does anybody have recommendations for where I can purchase athletic tape?

Decathlon….  I also use it for football.

 

I also bought some other tape, more expensive but better from the pharmacy next door to villa supermarket at K-Village.

Bangkok .. I have googled it, I have seen the Facebook ads. I’ve ordered these colored tapes from Lazada, they are inferior manufactured in China, and not what I’m looking for.

 

I would prefer going to a store that supplies these kinds of products, so I can examine it before I purchase it.

Thanks Richard I’ll try that.

I found that a stirrup air cast like this works better than tape.  They weigh almost nothing, last an awfully long time, can barely be felt, and really prevent the ankle from rolling or turning.   I used to rely on these for running on rough trails up in the mountains.

Quite restrictive for football though… we need that articulation of the ankle but just need that little extra support to prevent a roll.  
 

I also use something like this…
