What is Sport Strapping & Taping?
Sport strapping and taping involves the application of specialised tape to muscles, joints, and ligaments to:
● Support injured or vulnerable areas
● Reduce pain
● Improve joint stability and alignment
● Aid in injury prevention during activity
● Enhance athletic performance and recovery
At PeakPhysio, we use a variety of taping methods - including rigid strapping, kinesiology taping, and elastic therapeutic tape - tailored to your individual sport and condition.
When Should You Use Sport Taping?
You might benefit from taping if you're:
● Returning to sport post-injury
● Playing through minor pain
● Preparing for a tournament or heavy training block
● Experiencing joint instability
● Wanting to protect a chronic or recurring issue
Taping can be done before games or training, and is often combined with a wider physiotherapy treatment plan for long-term recovery and prevention.
