Rehabilitation in Kapiti Coast & Levin

Taping and strapping are commonly used for managing all kinds of sports injuries. The aim is to induce as much stability as possible without limiting function. Based on assessment, treatment, and individual needs, strapping incorporates the use of external devices that are applied to stabilise a moving joint. The most commonly used is strapping tape, which your physiotherapist will apply to limit movement or provide a sense of stability to a joint. Your physiotherapist may recommend orthotic devices to improve foot posture. Alternatively, your physiotherapist may occasionally organise a referral for you to see a podiatrist or orthopaedic specialist for an assessment because you might require orthotics or bracing. Your physiotherapist can organise a brace for your damaged joint, utilising one of the many suppliers that we have available.
