Ankle Prevention & Injury Taping

Here we talk about and demonstrate taping an ankle and the different options that you can utilize to keep the ankle in a controlled position and help return from injury and also potentially prevent an injury from occurring.

Ankle Prevention: Thor & TapeWrap

This taping procedure uses Thor (R) from Mueller Sports Medicine along with Tape Wrap (R) to do a preventative ankle taping or to be used along with coming back from injury. Utilizing these types of tape allows for some more stability and holds up better with hot and humid conditions compared to regular athletic tape.

Tear Drop & Transverse Arch Support

We show two options that we combine together in this taping procedure to help support the arch and all the tissues surrounding it. This can be a huge help in support for the arch or diagnostic to potentially look at something like orthotics. It can also aid in medial tibial stress syndrome (Shin Splints) but helping raise the arch and put less stress on those muscles.

Knee: MCL & LCL Support

We show a LCL ligament taping in this video which can be used when a brace might not be practical or just for specific comfort. This same procedure can be applied to the medial side of the knee by changing the location of your support strips.
