Tapping & Strapping
Taping can be an extremely useful component of your treatment plan. We use a specific type of tape called RockTape which has a strong glue which prevents the tape from coming off during exercise, showering or bathing or swimming.
The tape will generally stay on for 3-5 days and will enhance the result of your treatment. Taping and Strapping is a very specialist area involving quite detailed expertise. Some people will attempt to tape themselves; this is not recommended as it is very difficult to tape yourself and often tape will be applied incorrectly.
Tape needs to be applied by a very specific method ensuring that there is no tension on the tape ends and that the tape is not touched when applied. Your physiotherapist will discuss this with you and fees do apply. Physioelite has two taping fees. For a one-off tape the charge is £8 and for unlimited taping during your treatment process the charge is £20. This will ensure that you get both value for money from the taping process and that the tape is applied regularly.
