ANKLE TAPING

ZINC OXIDE TAN TAPE 3.8CM PURPOSE To provide stability, support, and compression for your ankle joint.

1. Start by wrapping a strip of tape 5–7CM above the ankle to create an anchor. Be careful not to wrap too tightly.
2. Ensure the foot is in a neutral position. Lay a piece of tape from the anchor, down and under the foot, finishing on the anchor to create a stirrup.
3. To increase your desired level of support, repeat Step 2 several times.
4. For reinforcement, start on the inside of the anchor, pass under the heel and cross back over to the inside of the ankle to form a 6.

OUR TOP TAPING TIPS

GET THIS RIGHT

1. Clean, dry and when possible shave your skin before application. Moisturiser, oils and hair are tapes’ kryptonite.
2. Never overtighten. Check the sensation and circulation in the area after application.
3. Have a play. Practise your application and don’t be afraid to adjust it to suit your needs.
4. Give yourself time. Apply the tape 15–30 mins before the action starts.
