I first discovered the benefits of Tubigrip when I was skiing in Canada a few years ago, it was the first time I had ever been skiing I hired most of the equipment and bought all the protective clothing, I also packed a couple of lengths of tubigrip in my case as well, it was really incase I fell over and twisted my joints. What I did not think about is the pressure that skiing would have on my wrists. After my first day of ski school I had fallen over several times but luckily without injury, however it wasn't until the next day that I realised the effect skiing had had on my arms, I woke up in the morning with extremely painful wrists, they were so bad that there was ..  Read the complete review

Well OK, I didn't fall down the stairs (it would be pretty impossible, seeing that I live in a ground floor flat), but if I'd said falling over the hoover, it wouldn't have had the same ring to it! Yes, that's right, in my most recent of ridiculous accidents (I'm always having them), I managed to fall over the hoover when running to answer the phone. To add insult to my very literal injury, it turned out it was a phone ringing on the TV, not mine! Anyway, as I fell I managed to sprain my ankle, and although it didn't hurt initially, in the days after, I had a really annoying niggly pain, and my ankle felt really weak. I couldn't get a doctors appointment for two weeks, ..  Read the complete review

A few years ago I started suffering problems with one of my knees. It is nothing major but every now and again it does get uncomfortable and feels very weak. I can go months without a problem and then suddenly the pain returns again. It is always worse if I have done a lot of walking and when I had an attempt at staring to jog it didn't take me long to realise that I would permanently be in pain if I didn't give it up. When I am at work I do have to stand up all day and if my knee is hurting this can become very uncomfortable, especially after a 10 hour shift. I did try using the stronger supports for the knee that I saw in a Sport shop but I found them ...  Read the complete review

I have suffered since around the age of 10 with foot problems and cannot run or walk far without wearing a support bandage around my ankle. As they tend to get a bit smelly and sweaty, I replace them quite often. I am not particularly bothered which make I have, I generally just purchase one from wherever I happen to be shopping at the time. The last one I purchased was from Boots and was a general tubigrip support which can be used for ankles, arms, wrists, lets etc. The tubigrips basically come in many sizes though with me having rather skinny ankles, I tend to have to go for the smallest. With the Boots ones, you can differentiate between them by the ...  Read the complete review

Of late I have really suffered with a bad ankle. Well I call it my ankle its actually my Achilles and it kills all the time and I'm forever moaning about it! I have had it looked over by the Doctor and basically he gave me cream to rub on it and told me its to do with my sciatica I suffer from, but for now that was all he could suggest to help and to my dismay the cream he prescribed doesn't help me at all sadly. However my Achilles throbs, I struggle to walk on my foot at times and can't put pressure on it so my mate (bless her heart) purchased me one of these whilst she was in Boots to see if that would help me. The Packaging: The box ...  Read the complete review
