There are different types of taping techniques and braces available at Olympic Foot and Ankle which are all low profile and light-weight for specific dance injuries. This allows continued range of motion for the joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons that a cast, splint, boot, or even an ankle brace would normally hinder.
