Taping and strapping are techniques used in sports and rehabilitation settings to provide support, stability, and pain relief to injured muscles or joints. Athletic tape or adhesive bandages are applied to areas of the body that have been injured or are prone to strain, helping to reduce the risk of further injury and improve joint function.

This technique is commonly used for conditions like sprains, strains, ligament injuries, or post-surgical rehabilitation. Taping can also be used for proprioceptive feedback to improve body awareness and control during movement.

Taping and strapping are effective methods for providing temporary support during rehabilitation, reducing pain, and preventing re-injury, while promoting recovery.
