Product story:
Sprains: pain, downtime, a long rehab journey back into the game, and then still more secondary injuries. Whether it's with ourselves, friends, or sports idols - we've all experienced it in different ways - and even once is too often.
Such injuries prevented our founder Vinzenz from pursuing a professional sports career. Commercially available legacy braces offered either too little protection or restricted and limited his body, mind, and performance. Reason enough to bring BETTERGUARDS to life and to create a completely new type of injury prevention together with pioneers from science and technology: The BetterGuard
As part of the NBA Launchpad - the NBA's start-up accelerator - the first proprietary ankle brace was developed in 2022. It has been successfully tested with international research institutions, such as the Charité in Berlin, as well as other institutes and athletes worldwide.
Our goal is to help athletes achieve their best performance. Unhindered by injuries or mental barriers. At BETTERGUARDS our goal is to banish ankle injuries to the history books.
