ActivMend speeds recovery by aggressively clearing swelling, which a 2008 study found is the #1 predictor of healing speed. Eliminating this barrier allows you to return to full function up to 2X faster.
Every sports parent knows that feeling. Your athlete goes down on the field, reaches for their ankle, and your heart sinks. The season — the playoffs they've been working toward all year — suddenly feels out of reach. When Jordan reached out with a "hope and a prayer," our CEO, Dr. Jo, personally responded.
A Grade II ankle sprain means a partial ligament tear. Standard recovery: 6 to 8 weeks. When playoffs are 10 days away, that's not a timeline — that's a season over. But Jordan refused to give up, discovered ActivMend, and what happened next changed everything.
Two ActivMend patches were applied at 24 hours post-injury — and by the next day, the swelling had already reduced by 1/2 an inch. This gave them hope.
Decklan didn't just show up. He made a difference, playing 80–90% of every game through the semifinals. 10 days after spraining all three ligaments.
ActivMend is a patented ankle patch designed to rapidly reduce swelling and support recovery from sprains and strains. In a physical therapist’s firsthand case of a high-grade ankle sprain, swelling dropped 3/4 of an inch within 24 hours of applying ActivMend . By day 4 most of the swelling was gone. Early swelling matters: a 2008 prospective study found that more swelling at day 4 after an ankle sprain was associated with worse function at day 30.
That is why visible swelling reduction matters. ActivMend was designed for fast, visible results when swelling is at its worst—helping address one of the earliest signs linked to how recovery is progressing.
"I was skeptical that these patches would do anything, but I was shocked to realize they actually work. They have been perfect for recovery after a high-grade tear."

When a volleyball coach and mom watched her daughter sprain her ankle for the fourth time, she was determined to find a better way to help her heal. That’s when she discovered ActivMend.
