What to Expect
Injury strapping provides targeted support to help stabilise joints, reduce strain, and prevent further injury during movement. Your physiotherapist will assess the affected area and apply the appropriate taping technique—whether rigid or kinesiology tape—based on your condition and activity level. Strapping is often used short-term to aid recovery and enhance confidence during sport or daily activities.
