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."
