How Do You Wrap An Ankle With An Ace Bandage?
If you twist your ankle but it’s not bad enough to go to the doctor you can wrap it yourself. It’s very easy. Start with your bare foot, elevate your leg so that you can wrap it easily. Crossing your ankle over the other knee helps hold it up. Hold the end of the bandage against the sole of your foot. Wrap it about three times. Don’t wrap it too tight or it will cut off circulation and swell. Next, wrap the bandage around your ankle about four times. Bring the wrap down around the sole of your foot again and wrap twice. Again, make sure it isn’t too tight. You want it snug like a tight sock. Bring the wrap back up around the ankle and continue wraping around the ankle until you run out of bandage. You will secure it with the fastener that comes with the bandage. If you don’t have the fastener, use a saftey pin.
