What to expect?
Initial Assessment
Your physiotherapist will assess the injured area and determine whether taping is appropriate, taking into account your goals and activity levels.
Application
The tape is applied to support muscles or joints, either to relieve pain, improve alignment, or enhance stability. The technique may vary depending on the injury or condition.
Follow-Up & Advice
Guidance will be provided on how long to leave the tape in place, when to remove it, and any accompanying exercises to support recovery.
Treatments available
Taping can be used for a variety of situations, including acute injuries like sprains or strains, ongoing joint instability, or support during sporting activities. It can also help manage postural issues or reduce strain on overused muscles.
Following the taping session, your physiotherapist will advise on complementary exercises, stretches, or other treatments to support recovery. Regular follow-ups ensure the taping continues to meet your needs, helping you regain strength, improve movement, and prevent further injury.
