Taping or strapping is a technique used by physiotherapists for injury prevention

We are fully trained in how to apply it effectively depending on your goals of treatment. The physiotherapists can also teach you how to apply the tape yourself so you can continue to experience the benefit. The practice also helps provide support to muscles and joints during rehabilitation, ensuring further damage is prevented and encouragement is given for the repair to succeed.

The benefits of taping will depend on your injury. The aim of our physiotherapists is to encourage some of the following benefits

Protection of injured soft tissue structures

Injury prevention

Encourage normal movement

Quicker return to sport or work

Improves the stability of a joint

Pain reduction

Reduce swelling

Reduce the risk of re-injury
