i used to have volleyball teammates who wore ankle braces for protection without having any prior injuries and idk it’s so stupid 😭 wearing it when you don’t need support just makes them weaker. ur gonna forget them one day and they’ll snap bruh

they are not preventative!!! they are for support AFTER an injury already happens. braces are to keep a weakened bone or muscle secure while you get back into shape. i hurt my knee sophomore year and wore a brace junior year and after it strengthened back up i stopped wearing the brace. if it was a bad enough injury where it won’t be able to be as strong then you just always have the brace now. but wearing it when you don’t need it will only lead to injuries

i had an argument with my ex about this lol he was like no it doesn’t weaken them at all like yes it does bro 😭 ur muscle will get used to the added support and stop working as hard as it should
