Sports Taping at Onsite Health
Flexible Support for Recovery and Performance
Sports taping, including RockTape and other kinesiology tapes, is a method physiotherapists use to provide joint and muscle assistance without restricting natural movement. The tape is lightweight, breathable, and elastic, allowing you to move freely while offering targeted support. At Onsite Health, we often include it as part of a complete rehabilitation plan to help ease discomfort, promote recovery, and improve performance in sport and daily life.
What Sports Taping Is and When We May Recommend It
We apply a specialised elastic tape to the skin over specific muscles or joints. This tape can help reduce discomfort, support fatigued muscles, improve joint alignment, enhance circulation, and provide gentle feedback to improve movement awareness. Unlike rigid strapping, kinesiology tape stretches and recoils much like human skin, making it ideal for active individuals who need both mobility and support.
Physiotherapists often use sports taping for:
- Muscle support after strain or overuse
- Light joint stabilisation during recovery from injury
- Swelling management by improving lymphatic drainage
- Posture correction through sensory cues
- Pain management for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, lower back discomfort, or patellofemoral pain
Its flexibility makes it suitable both for rehabilitation and for maintaining function during sport.
Integrating More Support into Your Plan
At our clinic in Novena, taping is rarely used on its own. We incorporate it into a wider treatment plan that may include manual therapy, tailored exercises, and movement education. This ensures the benefits are complemented by approaches that address the underlying cause of your symptoms, not just the surface effects.
