Ankle Taping
Ankle taping is a technique that applies tape to the ankle and then wraps it around to hold the tissue together and reduce the risk of injury. It is also known as Kinesio taping and is used to prevent or treat various musculoskeletal injuries. The tape can be applied in different ways, depending on the desired outcome.
Taping is a form of compression therapy that holds muscles, tendons, and joints to avoid overstretching and protect them from injury. Taping is applied with adhesive and elastic tape designed for this purpose to help stabilize joints and muscles. It can be applied to the entire foot or ankle or around the ankle joint.
Taping your ankle can help prevent future ankle injuries. However, this should be done under the supervision of a physical therapist or a medical practitioner to ensure it is done correctly.
