Taping & Strapping From A Chartered Physiotherapist.

Strapping or taping refers to the strategic application of tape to a vulnerable or injured joint or structure in order to limit excess or abnormal movement that may contribute to pain or further injury while engaging in physical activity. The technique should also provide additional support to the surrounding muscles and structures of an injury, relieving pressure and reducing pain. 

Strapping is often done prior to partaking in a sporting event, match or physical activity in order to protect a problem area and prevent recurrence of a previous injury. Strapping and taping can help to prevent injury as well as protect an athlete from re-injury whilst returning to sport. It can also be used on patients to inhibit muscles spasms and promote normal positioning.

What We Can Do For You.

Taping can sometimes also enhance co-ordination. For example if an ankle that is taped up starts to turn over during a jump the tape will prevent this from happening, letting the body know it needs to contract the muscles in the area to restrict this movement. If the tape wasn’t in place, the individual may be unaware of this movement occurring and could injure it again by landing on it badly. 

Strapping and taping techniques are usually employed as part of an wider injury rehabilitation programme which may include hands-on treatment, mobility and strengthening exercises and a stretching regime. 

"Taping and strapping provide support to injured areas, reduce pain, and limit excessive movement, aiding recovery. They help prevent further injury, improve stability, and allow patients to maintain function during rehabilitation."

Had a very positive experience. Had severe back pain and Dylan was able to see me at short notice. He was very thorough and clear in assessing and explaining my condition and structuring a recovery exercise program that worked very succesfully. I am now fully recovered and looking forward to being as active as I was before my injury.

I met with Lisa on three occasions in relation to my hamstring and she was absolutely amazing! So easy to chat to and super informative. You need to book at least a week or two in advance to get a spot with her and it's no surprise. She's absolutely fantastic! He explained and demonstrated the exercises in 'lay' terms and ensured that I understood and was happy with the approach and expected outcomes. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.

I went to Olga for 4 or 5 weeks before the marathon this year for hip pain. I was contemplating not running as my long run training had become so painful on the hip. Olga treated with dry needling and massage and over 2 sessions, I saw a big difference. I continued a weekly session to keep me loose and followed her exercise plan. I completed the marathon with no hip issues and felt like my recovery after was a lot faster than previous years.

I had a painful trapped nerve in my neck which caused pain together with pins and needles running into my arm and hand. I attended Mohammed twice over a period of two weeks. It completely resolved after second appointment. Mohammed is an expert professional at what he does. I would highly recommend his services. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.

I can only recommend Dr. Muhammed Sohail. I’ve been to many physio consultants and he’s been the very best so far: dry needling has improved my IT band issues so much over two sessions including my knee pain. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.
