📚 Word of the Day: Taping 📚 Derived from the Middle English word "tapen," meaning "to fasten or secure with strips of adhesive material," taping has ancient origins - Ancient Greek and Roman physicians used cloth strips to support injured limbs, laying the groundwork for modern taping techniques! Today, taping has evolved into a sophisticated tool in physiotherapy. Physiotherapists utilise adhesive tapes to provide support, stability, and relief to injured muscles and joints. Taping offers benefits such as reducing pain and swelling, improving joint function, and enhancing proprioception—the body's awareness of its position in space. Curious about how taping could benefit you? Our skilled physiotherapists at St Leonards Physiotherapy are here to provide personalised advice and guidance to support your rehabilitation journey.
