Our Podiatrists use taping and strapping to give support and pain relief for treating muscles, ligament, and joint injuries. Strapping is a quick and easy way to temporarily stabilise the joint. It is generally recommended as a short-term measure.<\/p>\n

Taping is often used during initial painful stages of an injury and to help prevent re-injury during sports or physical activity as you regain strength and function. Foot and lower limb taping can be used for sprained ankles, plantar fasciitis, ligament damage, tendonitis, and knee pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sports taping techniques are often used in sports rehabilitation. Which strapping or taping technique should be used? The answer depends on which joint is involved, the severity of the injury and the return to play. It is always best to seek professional advice.<\/span><\/p>\n If you suffer from plantar fasciitis, our Podiatrists can tape your foot and teach you how to do it at home. The purpose of taping the arch of the foot, is to provide support to the foot and unload some of the strain on the plantar fascia to allow those tissues to heal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Studies have shown that taping provides short term relief for plantar fasciitis, so our Podiatrists will often use taping in conjunction with strategies such as stretching, orthotics, heel lifts and rest.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/melbournefootclinic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/running_related_injury_podiatry_melbourne.jpg” alt=”running related injury causes from podiatry melbourne” title_text=”running_related_injury_podiatry_melbourne” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”rr” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”2.8%||0%||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”3.1%||2.5%||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”4.1%||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/melbournefootclinic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Untitled-design-1-2.png” alt=”A Woman Who Has Trained Hard To Run Faster Safely” title_text=”The Key to Faster Running, Improved Economy and Reduced Injury Risk!” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”15px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_line_height=”1.6em” custom_margin=”||7px|||” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Ankle taping is used to protect a sprained ankle following injury, as well as offer support and give the athlete confidence during rehabilitation. One of the most common and reliable treatments to help an ankle strain is to provide stability to allow the soft tissues to heal, and compression to help manage inflammation. Given the complex nature of ankle injuries, there are several ways to tape for ankle sprains depending on the situation and state of injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Your podiatrist will consider your injury history, ankle and foot mechanics and use the best taping technique for you. In addition, they will discuss best footwear for recovery and strengthening exercises as you recover. Latest research indicate that early, gentle movement of the ankle is beneficial to recovery. So, it is always best to seek professional advice.<\/span><\/p>\n Toes can also require taping and again the type of taping is determined by the type of injury. For example, turf toe caused by a strain at the base of the big toe. The goal of the sports taping is to protect the MTP joint by minimising its movement to aid recovery and reduce\u00a0 pain. It should support and protect your toe stopping it from bending. Again, it is only recommended to be used as a short-term solution.<\/span><\/p>\n A simple achilles tendon taping technique can be used to take the strain off the painful tendon, allowing it to rest more easily, especially., if you have to be on your feet.\u00a0 You should discuss the correct taping technique with your Podiatrist prior to starting as taping can be useful during those activities that tend to aggravate your condition. Remember to consult an expert given that some injuries and condition should not be taped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”4.7%||4.7%||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”4.7%||4.7%||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”7.8%||7.8%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0.4%||0.6%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||7px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_line_height=”1.5em” max_width=”700px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n With a priority on keeping people healthy, Melbourne Foot Clinic provides a wide range of professional services for people across Melbourne\u2019s East.
