Ankle sport strapping involves the application of adhesive or non-adhesive tape to stabilize and support the ankle joint during physical activity. This method is especially useful for athletes recovering from sprains, experiencing ankle instability, or participating in high-impact sports.

Characteristic:

• Injury Prevention: Reduces the risk of ligament sprains by limiting excessive movement.
• Support During Recovery
• Confidence Boost: Gives athletes psychological reassurance when returning to play.

When to use:

• Post-injury, under guidance of a healthcare or sports professional.

• When ankle braces are unavailable or impractical.

Precautions:

• Ensure proper technique to avoid restricting circulation or causing skin irritation.

• Taping should not replace proper rehabilitation or strength training.

• Always check for signs of discomfort, numbness, or poor circulation after application.

Size:

• small           19-22 cm
• medium      22-25 cm
• large            25-30 cm
