because you need recovery too...
We recognised the need for additional health care modalities for our patients and clients to assist with the treatment of medical conditions and to improve their lifestyle and performance.
STRAPPING
Strapping is the application of a tape to an area of the body, the type of tape used depends greatly on the type of injury or intent. Rigid tape (leukotape) is commonly used on injured areas to restrict movement of the joints and for soft tissue compression. A flexible tape (Kinesiotape) is commonly used for light support and injury prevention. Another more flexible tape (dynamic tape) is used for improved performance.
Indications:
🟢 Provides joint and muscle support
🟢 Allows functional movement with protection
🟢 Stabilizes weak or injured areas
🟢 Reduces pain and discomfort during activity
🟢 Assists with swelling and lymphatic drainage
🟢 Promotes faster recovery from injuries
🟢 Aids in injury prevention
🟢 Enhances athletic performance
Cautions:
🟠When removing the strapping - rub baby oil onto the strapping until it is "soaked". Take a hot bath or shower, gently peel the strapping off when it is still wet. NEVER rip the strapping off the skin, this may cause skin blisters.
🟠Immediately remove the strapping if you
