Strapping & Taping
Orthopedic strapping is a therapeutic technique used to support and stabilize joints, muscles, and tendons, typically after an injury or to manage chronic conditions. It involves applying specialised tape or bandages to a specific area, such as the foot, ankle, knee, or wrist, to provide support, reduce excessive movement, offload stress, and alleviate pain.
Uses of Orthopedic Strapping
- Injury Management – Helps in the recovery of sprains, strains, and overuse injuries.
- Pain Relief – Reduces pressure on painful areas, such as tendinitis or plantar fasciitis.
- Support & Stability – Helps prevent excessive movement that could worsen an injury.
- Post-Surgical Recovery – Supports healing tissues after orthopedic surgeries.
- Athletic Performance & Injury Prevention – Protects vulnerable areas during physical activities.
