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
