Thank you! I rolled my ankle playing mixed netball 2 weeks ago, and this strapping helped secure it for my game last night and I had no issues or worries about rolling it again.
Look no further guys, this is the very best video on youtube on taping an ankle. The different colored tapes is so extremely helpful. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this!!! I get my ankles taped for every practice and match. Due to corona I have to do it myself, thanks to you I can do it !!
I’m using this to see if it will help my ankle pain a bit, hope it works. I did a pretty poor job but it’s my first time working with it so I’m proud :)
Absolutely the best video! I followed other videos and left out the tiny detail about how tight to tape the detail and guess what my athlete complained it was too tight!
Excellent information. After a 3 hour tennis session on consecutive days, my left ankle hurts rest of the day. So, I started looking for some kind of support my ankle might need. So, I am going to use tape . I subscribed. Thank you.
physio here: no it will not be. this is a support so you dont go into too much supination but wont change pronation. you could switch it around and get the tention on the other side, but as a physio working with runners you dont need a tape for overpronation. look around for a physio that has don tom goons running repairs physio webinar, they can show you what you can do (if you really need a change or not)
I'm curious about how long the tape can be on foot before it must be removed. I just twisted my ancle and I would like to use tape instead of wrapping the foot. The wrap makes the ancle so thick that using socks sucks. And also the wrap moves a bit and the sides might roll.
Great question! I really don't have issues with blistering from the taping. I'm not an advocate of underwrap as I feel it significantly reduces the effectiveness of the taping. I do however use heel and lace pads, particularly if the athlete is taping daily, as some professional athletes will. Absolutely use the pads to improve the comfort of your athlete and to help prevent tape cuts. Thanks for your question!
The tape can be pretty easily removed with some of the tape solvents (or even WD40) that are available. We do recommend shaving, or at least clipping, the ankle if taping is going to be done regularly. Unfortunately our model wasn't keen on shaving his ankle for this demonstration, and because the tape wasn't on for very long it came off pretty easily!
Just keep in mind that repeated exposure to WD40 isn't recommended as it may cause skin irritation, but most oils applied to the tape will help to remove the glue. Sorbolene is probably a safer alternative, as would be most massage oils.
There’s sports tape and then there’s KT tape, kinesio tape, kinesiology tape. You can find it by all these names. Most would suggest the latter (KT tape).
Gauze first is better than shaving. Use sharp scissors to remove. Also should come to 1/2 below toes with figure 8 supporting the arch with only achilles heel exposed. Any winkle will cause a blister and is unacceptable. Try on self first. Try on family members next. Only do on client when able to tear tape behind back using hands only. Atheletic Trainer since 1996
Hi Nabilah, thanks for your question. The tape that we use is rigid, so it doesn't stretch much. However, you can apply tension on the lateral side of the stirrups to increase protection against inversion.
Athletic trainer since 1996 September. Any winkle will cause a blister and is not acceptable practice. Be able to tear tape using two hands behind back before applying to a patient in front of you. Practice on self before family, and family before a patient or athelete. Need to use gauze before tape. Use shark scissor to cut to remove. Take take all the way to 1/2 inch below bottom of toes. If toes can not wiggle and or turn blue circulation is cut off and too tight.

This is by far the best video tutorial on how to tape an ankle that I've ever seen. Thanks a lot guys, this will be very helpful!
@justin I believe it's 38 mm Leuko tape? Rigid, more so than regular coach tape. Way more durable and great quality.
The different colored tapes helped so much in tracking where the strips go. Found this very helpful
out of a bunch of methods that I've been taught as an athlete myself this is my favorite video of how to tape an ankle.

Absolutely brilliant video by far the best tutorial how to tape your ankle!
I just sprained my ankle and this helps 100% thank you
Brillant video ;so simple but very effective
One of the better videos I've seen. Thanks for this!

Great video, Thanks. What about taping your ankle by yourself??
Great tutorial 👌
Cheers Doc. Easy to follow expertly explained
Thank you so much!
Nice vid, bookmarking this one to come back to if I ever need to tape an ankle.
Thanks PartyOf8, hope you don't need to use it!
Thanks so much for this
brilliant colored strips
Yo thank I drank last night climbing a tree n fell now I'm here with u
Wow , that’s awesome!!!!
Would this be good for peroneal tendinosis or opathy?
Good jobs
How good would this type of strapping be for Football( soccer), would it restrict my movement at all when I need to turn sharply etc?
Is it better to use skin-coloured or white tape?
I have extremely flat feet, will this be good to use during my runs to prevent overpronation?
physio here: no it will not be. this is a support so you dont go into too much supination but wont change pronation. you could switch it around and get the tention on the other side, but as a physio working with runners you dont need a tape for overpronation. look around for a physio that has don tom goons running repairs physio webinar, they can show you what you can do (if you really need a change or not)

My tape says it's a max of 48 hours. I also recommend at least 8 hours of wear so the sticky is easier to remove.
I’ve seen some do two figure 6’s and no half 8. Thoughts on that?
Can you tell me what type of tape it is please??! Thanks
What about blistering while playing Football (soccer). You didn't use any under wrap or heel and lace pads. Will blisters appear? Thanks.
Great question! I really don't have issues with blistering from the taping. I'm not an advocate of underwrap as I feel it significantly reduces the effectiveness of the taping. I do however use heel and lace pads, particularly if the athlete is taping daily, as some professional athletes will.

I put this tape on my feet to prevent blisters while hiking. If applied without creases, it will actually protect your skin from blisters.
what is figure six and figure 8 and what is it for
What tape do you recommend?
Does it work while snowboarding
Does it effects on blood cycling in the Ankle!?
If it's applied to tight
I have the same question as a few others in the comment section. For how long can I keep the tape on? Do I need to take it off after 1 day or?
I use TK tape. It’s waterproof. You can leave it on for 7 days.
What about toe taping if i am participating in 50 kms walkathon
How long this tape should be kept
Do you have to change it everyday? Thx
That guy is going to be in a world of pain when he tries to remove the tape. Should have shaved his ankle first.

grandstandclinic WD40? I had no idea. I will try that. Thanks for the tip!

XD injury is worst am a varsity in basketball trust me injuries are worst
@@grandstandclinic I tape regularly and just use conditioner to get it off. Been told my leg hair is really nice as a result
Awesome video! Thank you
What is the name of the tape?
Is Ankle taping better than wearing Ankle support Braces?
What kind of tape are you using?
There’s sports tape and then there’s KT tape, kinesio tape, kinesiology tape. You can find it by all these names. Most would suggest the latter (KT tape).
No pre wrap?
super...not overdone.
I've been taught not to overlap the anchor ends in order to not restrict the ankle's ability to expand. What's your take on that? Great video, btw.
Legend has it the guy getting taped has no hair or skin left. Lol. Good video but man where's the pre-tape or is that just a thing in the US?
Gauze first is better than shaving. Use sharp scissors to remove. Also should come to 1/2 below toes with figure 8 supporting the arch with only achilles heel exposed.

Thank you!🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
Should we strecth the second tape after it attach to the anchor?
Hi Nabilah, thanks for your question. The tape that we use is rigid, so it doesn't stretch much. However, you can apply tension on the lateral side of the stirrups to increase protection against inversion.
Tnx relly Good 👍

Have you managed to complete an ankle taping in under 90secs? Let us know...
Help! What kind of tape???
I use a sports tape, but it doesn't stretch... I tape my own foot and would like to do it just like you said!!!
@@Maxaldojo YES! What type of tape? Why is that not mentioned?
Ah, in reading through all the replies, I see "rigid tape" mentioned. That helps.
@@briansmall9854 Thanks Brian...
Pretty close to how i was thaught, with the exception of the heel locks having to look like almost perfect triangles on each side
... and please remember to shave your leg first 😬
