Sport injuries strapping and taping is a common preventive and supportive method used by athletes and healthcare professionals to immobilize or provide stabilization and compression for various types of injuries. Strapping, which involves wrapping an elastic bandage around the affected area, helps keep the injury in place and reduces swelling. Taping, on the other hand, uses adhesive tape to securely hold the injured body part in its proper position and protect it from further damage. Both techniques can be effective in managing sprains, strains, bruises, blisters, and joint instability.
