Strapping with SomaTraining LA
/We just completed the Strapping course with Brent Meier of SomaTraining LA in October of 2019.
Very frequently, to assist in the ability of movement or strength performance, the therapist must apply a therapeutic tape job for a ligament, tendon, muscle or a specific articulation. Specific conditions that we can support through strapping include medial and lateral epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow), sprains or fractures of the phalanges, thumb dislocation, Carpal tunnel, Rotator cuff injuries, Knee sprain (ACL, PCL, LCL, MCL), Achilles Tendonitis, Ankle sprain (lateral and medial), plantar fascitis, Hallucis Valgus, Rib fractures or sprains, Diastasis, and Lumbago.
We recently applied our knowledge and Tensoplast strapping to a patient with a rib fracture with great success!
The Tensoplast tape allows for more stability than typical Kinesio-tape but still has some elasticity for minimal movement.
