Taping and strapping use flexible or rigid tape to support muscles, joints, and soft tissues without restricting movement. Depending on your needs, we may apply:

• Kinesiology tape: A stretchy, breathable tape designed to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support injured tissues.

• Rigid tape: A firm tape used to limit joint movement and protect injured ligaments.

• Elastic adhesive bandages (EABs): For compression and light support.

• Underwrap: A soft base layer to protect skin.

Our clinicians use premium-quality tapes and tailor each application based on your body, activity level, and injury stage.

Taping and strapping are used to:

• Support healing after injury

• Stabilise joints during sport or physical activity

• Manage swelling and inflammation

• Improve body awareness and movement control

• Reduce pain in strained or overused areas

• Prevent injury recurrence

• Assist with posture and muscle function

We commonly tape areas such as:

• Ankles

• Knees

• Shoulders

• Wrists and thumbs

• Lower back

• Neck

• Shins and calves

We offer two options for taping:

1. Standalone taping appointments – quick and effective sessions for when you need support before sport, work, or activity.

2. Taping integrated into physiotherapy – part of your injury rehab or pain management plan. Your physio will explain the why and how behind each application.

Taping is suitable for:

• Athletes and active individuals

• Office workers with postural strain

• Children recovering from injury

• Seniors needing joint support

• Pregnant or postnatal patients

• Anyone seeking extra stability during rehab

Whether you're managing an acute injury or preventing one, taping can be a smart addition to your care.
