To properly wrap your ankle with an elastic bandage, begin with the bandage in a roll. Put your foot at a 90-degree angle and start by wrapping the foot right below the toes, working your way toward the ankle. Next, go around the Achille’s tendon and up under the foot until you wrap around to the front again. Do this a second time to ensure the bandage is securely in place and secure with a pin or clip. The bandage should be firm and tight enough to keep the ankle from moving too much but not so tight that circulation is stopped. If your foot starts to turn blue or you lose feeling in it, loosen immediately.
