Learn how to tape an ankle following a lateral ankle sprain. From the physiotherapists at Malvern Physiotherapy Clinic.
As with all taping:
-Ensure comfortable levels of pressure - check for skin colour changes, swelling or pins and needles.
-Avoid pressure over tendons to reduce the chances of tape cuts
-Remove any tape if skin irritation or itchiness occurs - seek medical attention if symptoms persist
-If unsure, consult your physiotherapist or other health professional
