Got a Swollen, Sprained ankle? Get Free ActivMend

Get two free boxes of ActivMend—just by showing how it helped you recover fast.
We’re looking for athletes who apply ActivMend within 36 hours of an ankle sprain and can document their recovery. To qualify, you’ll need to follow the directions below and send us a photo of your injury before applying ActivMend, followed by another photo 24 hours later. We also ask for a video of your first return to sport, showing cutting movements without pain, along with a short video testimonial about your experience.
If selected, we’ll send you two free boxes of ActivMend or refund the cost of the two you purchased—in exchange for the rights to use your photos and videos.

Acute Joint Sprains and Muscle Pulls/Strains:

  • Apply 2 ActivMend patches for the first 48 hours
  • Apply 1-2 ActivMend patches after the first 48 hours for a total of 6 patches
  • Replace patches every 24 hours
  • Cover with compression wrap
  • For faster reduction in swelling and acceleration of healing, apply more ActivMend patches
  • There is no limit to the number of patches you can apply

For the best results with acute sprains, apply within 2 hours of the injury. The larger the area you cover, the stronger the effect, so consider using more than one patch.


Chronic Injuries

Apply 1 ActivMend patch for 5 days, replacing every 24 hours

Detailed Instructions:

  1. Tear open the ActivMend pouch, then open the zipper seal.
  2. Remove the patch from the clear liner by gently folding one corner and rubbing it between your forefinger and thumb. Detach the ActivMend patch completely from the clear liner before application.
  • 3. Apply the sticky side of the patch to the affected area over clean dry intact skin, pressing firmly.
  • 4. If needed, you can secure the patch with the tape/wrap or your preferred tape of choice. Use the roll of athletic wrap to hold the patch in place on your arm/leg. Use the sticky kinesiology tape on all other places, like the shoulder.
  • 5. Pinch the zipper seal together to close the envelope. Re-seal tightly to retain moisture.
  • 6. The patch can be removed, placed in a plastic bag, and reapplied.
  • 7. Replace patch after 24 hours of application.
  • 8. Avoid excessive moisture.
  • 9. Keep patches out of reach of children and pets.

The kinesiology tape contains adhesives and latex, do not use if you have sensitive skin or allergies.  If irritation or redness develops, immediately stop usage and contact a physician.
