How to Apply an ACE Wrap to Your Ankle 

I had to redo the bandage on my ankle from a severe sprain and the way you explained it made it so much easier to do! Thank you!

I had been wrapping my ankle wrong and it was hurting a lot, now it doesn’t! Thank you!!

Thanks doc. I sprained my ankle playing basketball and this really helped

I remember spraining my ankle the first time, my God it hurt like a bitch!😭😭😭 Then my Dad assume we massage it, my God it was the most painful thing I ever felt. 😥😢😢 Then I had to walk to school Which is 4 blocks away on a sprain ankle. And go to school for the rest of the week. 😡😡😡 Then when we went to get lunch I was limping, my teacher asked if I was okay? I said, yeah. Then one of my classmates said it's just a sprain. I knew he was a sportys boy, and probably broke things more than me, but that was my first time wanting to bitch slap someone...🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 But now I know how to wrap it, THANKS 😜😜😜😜

I had to wrap my mom's foot today, and thanks to your video, I was able to do so with ease. I also got praise for doing it so well. Thank you so much!!

Wow this is the best & clearest demonstration to follow…concise & to the point. Thank you 🙏

Ty for this, I didnt have a sprained ankle or anything like that, but I have this sharp pain in a certain spot of my foot and this helped bc nobody in my family knows how to wrap a foot

thank you i kicked a tree too hard

Will be doing this have a sprained ankle. Swelling has been going down, but got get to work.

Please, please, wrap in the other direction (from the anterior aspect of the foot to the medial side, under to the plantar side and then up the lateral side) and always in neutral alignment to promote neutral or slight dorsiflexion and eversion as the most common ankle sprains are done by over plantarflexion and inversion of the foot which tears the anterior talofibular ligament. If you are going to show this wrap technique properly you need to show all important components.

Wrap around the arch of the foot first, wrap it around the leg above the heel second, and perform the figure eight of the swelling of the ankle.

*How to Apply an ACE Wrap to Your Ankle* Need to stabilize your ankle? Dr. Kevin Kirk, orthopedic foot and ankle specialist with The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group, demonstrates how to properly apply an ACE wrap to your ankle.

When someone rolls their ankle towards inversion, does it injure the calcaneofibular ligament? If ruptured does it require surgery to repair if its complete tear? Thanks

Excellent! Clear, concise, and quick! And from the Great State of Texas!! Thanks!

Thanks. Helpful. The model has pretty feet 😝

Thank you so much this helped me 😊

I'm on the recovery phase it's been like 2 and half weeks since I've played futbol it was a minor sprain, my swelling is fully gone and I'm doing some rehab exercises to strengthen the muscles down there, this bandage will help cause I need to play today!! I'm also going to tape it with anchors stirrups and all that

If the inside of your ankle hurts wrap it this way, but if the outside of your ankle hurts wrap it the opposite direction. It'll put more support on the outside of your ankle. :)

I had to climb up the stairs using my knees and upper body strength to take a shower, now I have to rewrap it and between climbing up the stairs with my knees and upperbody support alone or wrapping my foot back up, I’d still choose to climb up those stairs. This is my arch nemesis

I just sprained my ankle today and had to wrap it so the way you explained it made it very easy to do

First result in my search, could not have been more helpful 👍👍

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I nust wrapped my ankle like the doctor did at the hospital.

Thanks because i had this ace wrap all types of ways😂

I severely sprained my ankle and still need to support it with wrapping. This video was so clear, concise, and well-filmed. Thank you!

wrap starts @ 0:41

That’s if your medical facility can afford the Velcro ace bandages if not use tape !!!!

This is not the way to wrap a sprained ankle. First of all, you have to determine if the sprain is outer or inner ankle. You need to wrap away from the sprain, etc. See other videos as this method is inaccurate.

I have to do this on my 1 year old. 😭😭😭😭

Thank you Doc

Thanks doc, strength to the outside for my sprain was the advise I needed, A+ directions...Hooper...

Anyone provide good advice please hurt pinky toe but ankles is effected eventually abit swollen not sure if its swollen or not but it doesn't go down

My wrap keeps coming off. Thanks for this. I’ll try it.

Thanks doc

This method tore my acl somehow disapprove please don’t try this

Wear gloves next time to be safe to the person that your wrapping their ankle

Thank you. I broke my Ankle. That's all the Dr told me

I twisted my ankle yesterday, and it started to swell a little this morning. I had to make do with limited fake cast wrap, and it wasn't as much as I needed to keep my ankle stiff. My mom forgot to by ace wrap today, I have school and a theatre performance in which I run tomorrow. I'll try to go to the nurse tomorrow so she can properly wrap it, but hopefully this will keep it steady until then!

Great, thanks

Thanks Doc. I sprained my ankle at work a week ago and then did a 14 hour shift on independence day (the next morning I couldn't even put weight on it). Unfortunately I can't take time off so now I'm here. Thanks for the tips, I'll do anything to fix this (except for an expensive hospital visit) Thanks again, J

that was a simple and quick wrapping video of ankle good one doctor

Thank you!

🙂 Hello . Why are they named Ace Wraps? Can Shoes be worn, after the Ankle has been bandaged? Should the Ankle be raised up on several Pillows at night? Also, should the bandage be removed upon going to bed? 😊 Thank You.

I'm in love with Deidre

Foxy lady Deidre

Thank you so much, feels better already!

When you see orthopedic surgeon you know that he will teach you how to warp it perfectly.

My favorite orthopedic. He just did reconstruction on my ankle. He is awesome.

Thanks! This helped alto.

Hi guys, in case you don’t have ace tape here’s what I used to do after my sprain, and what I have to start doing again because of reinjury: I use makeup wipes and place them on my Achilles and the top of the ankle where shin meets ankle and it bends to stop blisters, I also dampen them. Never had a problem Wrap your ankle with pre-wrap a few times (at least three layers where tape goes) and make sure it covers more distance than what the tape will. Use medical tape in a similar way as he shows above, figure 8 mandatory. I also did extra support by making a U shape between my heel that goes up my leg x2. I believe I also fully circled under my toes by the balls of my feet once or twice. Locking out my ankle for this has best results, I play soccer so trust me when I say you will still have all the mobility you need as long as you don’t cut off your circulation.

They did it wrong at the hospital thanks !
