Taping and Strapping

Kinesiology Taping for Ankle Inversion Sprain Kinesiology Taping for Ankle Inversion Sprain

As part of my services I also provide a taping and strapping service, including the correct application of Kinesiology tape. This can be useful if :-

  • You have an acute injury and require support and compression in the early stages of recovery
  • You have swelling that can be reduced by improving lymphatic drainage
  • You have to continue playing or working and need to reduce or prevent further injury
  • You are returning to activity after recovering from injury and want to support a joint or muscle to reduce the chances of a relapse

Strapping can be applied and left in place for up to 5 days by using Kinesiology tape or by using more traditional tapes such as Zinc Oxide with an appropriate under tape. Kinesiology tape can also withstand being wet so it is possible to bath, shower or even swim wearing it.
