    WAG X braces are still out of stock. Any other suggestions?

    My 9 yo DD has plantar fasciitis. I had tried to order x-braces for her ages ago and the order never seemed to go through. But then she stopped complaining (we had been doing foot massages after practices), so I didn't worry about it. her practice hours have significantly picked up and she is...

    Comparing ankle support braces, please help?

    Braces and Supports?

    Hello, I'm new to gymnastics, and I think it is a lot of fun, but my elbows and wrists hurt for days after practice. As a result I can only practice once every week and a half or so. I won't be able to improve without more consistent practice, so I was wondering are there braces or supports...
