Sports taping for athletes and sports injuries

Our Treatment Methods:
Sports Taping

Sports tape creates a kind of splint that helps to hold the injured area in place. This can help to prevent further injury & allow you to continue playing your favourite sport.

Get your pain treated, naturally.

What is sports taping & how does it work?

Taping works by providing compression that helps to limit the range of motion at an affected area. This provides support and stability for the injury while it heals, as well as helping to reduce the risk of further injury.

There are many different types of tape that can be used for sports taping, but the most common is kinesiology tape. This type of tape is designed to mimic the natural movement of the skin, which allows it to provide support without restricting movement.

What are the benefits of sports taping?

Sports taping can help reduce pain, reduce swelling and bruising, promote healing, and improve mobility.

It is effective in treating a range of conditions, from mild sprains and strains to more serious injuries such as ligament tears. Taping is also beneficial for chronic pain sufferers, as it helps to reduce swelling and improve mobility.

Sports taping can be used together with ultrasound therapy for maximum pain relief, improved circulation, and faster healing times.

Is sports taping a long-term solution?

The short answer is not really. Sports taping is a great way to provide support and stability to joints and muscles, but it’s not designed to be used for extended periods of time. If you’re looking for a long-term solution, you’ll need to explore supplementing your recovery with other modalities.

Are there risks involved in sports taping?

Some claim that it can lead to skin irritations and restrictions in movement. However, these risks are greatly exaggerated. When applied correctly, sports taping is perfectly safe. In fact, it can actually help to protect the skin from abrasions and reduce the risk of inflammation. 

With that said, the tape is required to be applied in a specific pattern and should be performed by someone with experience, such as a physical therapist.

Who Can Benefit from Sports Taping?

For athletes, pain is an all too common occurrence. Whether it’s the result of a new training regimen or an old injury that’s flare up, pain can put a damper on even the most enthusiastic sportsperson’s game.

Thus, sports taping to prevent injuries and allow existing ones to heal is perfect for those wanting to get back into their sports.

Treating sprains & strains with sports taping​

Sprains and strains are common sports injuries that involve damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Sprains occur when a ligament (the tough tissue connecting bones to one another) is stretched or torn. Strains occur when a muscle or tendon (the tissue which attaches muscles to bones) is overstretched.

Sports taping can be used to provide support and stability to weakened or injured muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The tape is applied in a specific pattern that limits the range of motion at the affected area. This helps reduce pain, swelling, and bruising while promoting healing. It can also help with the rehabilitation process and improve mobility.

Treating tendonitis with sports taping​

Tendonitis is an inflammatory condition where a tendon becomes swollen and painful due to repetitive stress or overuse. It can occur in any tendon in the body, including the elbow, shoulder, wrist, hip and knee. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling and stiffness at the site of injury.

Sports taping is a useful tool in helping to treat tendonitis as it is highly effective in reducing pain and inflammation. This is because the tape provides gentle compression around the affected area, which helps to reduce swelling.

Injury prevention with sports taping​

Sports taping can be used to provide support and stability for weakened or recovering muscles, helping to prevent further injury. The tape is applied in a specific pattern that limits the range of motion at the affected area. This helps to support weak or injured muscles, reducing the risk of further injury.
