Taping and strapping is important to stabilise and support injuries through the recovery period of an injury. Mainly used for pain relief, to improve joint stability and prevention in and reducing re-occuring sports injuries. Strapping also assists with facilitating normal movement in muscles and joints. Here at Northern Rivers Physiotherapy we aim at providing the best care when it comes to sports injuries and have a range of kinesiology strapping tape to assist in recovery. A free strapping tutorial is included in any physiotherapy session where tape is required.
Braces are often used for the protection of joints and bones when in the process of healing or in other cases of injury. Braces are used in circumstances where there may be ligament tears, tendon damage, with injuries including fractures, commonly used after surgery for protection of the area affected, also creating stable platforms for areas requiring limited movement.
With brands including Donjoy, Exos and Procare, Northern Rivers Physiotherapy is able to provide patients with quality equipment for a correct fitting for all types of injuries; wrist, knee support, ankle, elbow, back, arm.
