Ankle Strapping

I have started to experience pain within my ankles and my knees after running again after a very long time. I’m in my mid 20’s and don’t have any issues as sick with my joints. Can anyone recommend a good sports tape brand please that I can strap my ankles with?

I would speak to a physio before you start self treating. Maybe look at your form. Better to treat the cause than the symptoms.

Have you started running using the structure of a training plan?

Maybe you have increased your running too rapidly after your long break.

As SlowLoris says rather than start taping up, it would be advisable to explore what the cause is.
