Protecting the Game Keke Lyles on Ankle Injuries Recovery & Betterguards Tech

by Dr. Grant Garcia | 1 year ago

#Orthopedics #StephCurry #InjuryPrevention Keke Lyles, doctor of physical therapy and performance lead for NBA teams, reveals how a smarter ankle brace can reduce severe sprains and speed up recovery without killing mobility. With hosts Will Sanchez and Dr. Grant Garcia, we dive into the Betterguards design: a flexible sleeve that feels like a compression sock, plus a side “piston” that behaves like a seatbelt, free movement until a rapid roll, then instant protection. We cover adoption in pro sports, the importance of comfort for compliance, the jump from v1 to v3.0, and why athletes feel more confident returning sooner. You’ll also hear about team–doctor–performance staff collaboration, when surgery makes sense, and where this tech is headed (think MCLs for linemen, elbows for pitchers).
