Who We Are

HealthTrends was founded in 2012 by a team of orthopedic specialists, sports medicine professionals, and biomechanical engineers who shared a common vision: to create ankle support solutions that truly make a difference in people's lives. What started as a small research project in a university laboratory has grown into a leading provider of medical-grade ankle supports trusted by healthcare professionals and active individuals worldwide.

Our headquarters are located in Denver, Colorado, where we operate state-of-the-art research and development facilities. Our multidisciplinary team includes former professional athletes, physical therapists, materials scientists, and product designers who work collaboratively to develop innovative solutions that address the full spectrum of ankle support needs.

We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality ankle support products that can help them live active, pain-free lives. This belief drives everything we do, from product development to customer service, ensuring that every decision we make prioritizes the wellbeing of our customers.
