Today Angie joins us to share her EB Hack!

Angie is Melissa’s Mother the founder of MiaThrives and Mia’s grandmother! This is a Hack she has now used for two generations.

Tennis Bands

Angie explains how you can use tennis bands around knees and elbow to give some extra protection while playing. They can also be used to hold bandages in place. You can find tennis bands at most athletic stores or on amazon they come in a wide range of colors.

We would love to hear from you if this is something you’ve tried and it works for you! Also, feel free to let us know if you have any other EB Hacks!
