How it works
Rigid tape mechanically limits inversion range of motion. Kinesio tape may reduce oedema through skin lift effect and enhance proprioceptive feedback. Both provide psychological confidence.
Rigid taping technique requires learning or physiotherapist application. Kinesio tape can be self-applied. Tape should not replace rehabilitation — it is a protection measure during activity.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
