Sprained your ankle… now which brace should you actually wear? 🤔
Compression sleeve? Lace-up brace? Rigid brace? Walking boot?
They’re NOT all designed to do the same thing — and more support isn’t always better.
In my newest video, I compare the different types of ankle braces and explain which ones I typically recommend depending on the injury and how much support you actually need.
Have you ever worn an ankle brace after a sprain? Which type did you use?

Ever wondered what a thumb arthritis injection looks like from the doctor’s point of view? 💉
In the first video of my new Doctor POV series, I take you inside a real thumb joint injection and explain what I’m doing along the way.
Would you like to see more real sports medicine procedures from this perspective?

🦶 You roll your ankle playing sports or walking on uneven ground...
Do you think you automatically need an X-ray?
âś… Yes
🤔 Only sometimes
❌ No
I just uploaded a new video explaining exactly how healthcare providers decide whether an ankle needs an X-ray using the Ottawa Ankle Rules.

I didn’t expect to like this knee brace…
But after testing it in real-world movement, it actually surprised me.
I just posted my full breakdown of the Anaconda Knee Brace — including who it’s for, and who should NOT be using it.
Would you ever wear a knee brace for workouts or rehab?

If you’ve ever rolled your ankle and felt like it took forever to recover, this might help.
I just tested a brace I wish more patients knew about — it stabilizes your ankle without locking up your movement the way lace-ups and Aircasts do.
I walk through who it’s best for, how it compares to the classic braces, and when I actually recommend it in clinic.
If ankle sprains or instability have been slowing you down, this one might be useful.

🚨 NEW VIDEO DROP!
You’ve seen red light therapy panels all over your feed — but do they actually work for recovery, performance, or joint pain?
In this video, I break down the real science behind red light therapy (photobiomodulation), including:
- How it boosts mitochondrial energy (ATP)
- What studies say for muscle recovery, arthritis, and tendinopathy
- How to use it safely at home

Perfect if you’re dealing with arthritis, tendon pain, or post-injection recovery.
