Taping injuries is a common technique used by athletes, physical therapists, and healthcare professionals to provide support, stability, and pain relief to injured joints and muscles. There are different types of tapes used for taping injuries, with some of the most common being athletic tape, kinesiology tape, and rigid strapping tape.
When taping injuries, it is important to apply the tape correctly to ensure proper support and comfort. It is also essential to monitor the skin for any signs of irritation or allergic reactions, and to remove the tape promptly if any discomfort or pain occurs.
Overall, taping injuries can be an effective way to support and protect injured joints and muscles, promote healing, and facilitate recovery from injury.
It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or physical therapist for guidance on the appropriate taping technique and tape to use for your specific injury.
Always advise your treating Physiotherapist or Practitioner if you have any known allergies to tapes, creams or latex.
