Step by Step Stability: Ankle Taping Tutorial for Optimal Support and Strength 🙌🏼👏🏻

Taping the ankle can provide various benefits, such as:

1. **Support and Stability**: Ankle taping can help support the ankle joint, providing stability during physical activities or sports that involve quick movements or changes in direction. This support can reduce the risk of sprains or injuries.

2. **Injury Prevention**: By limiting excessive movement of the ankle joint, taping can help prevent certain injuries, especially in individuals with a history of ankle issues or those participating in high-impact sports.

3. **Enhanced Proprioception**: Taping can improve proprioception, which is the body’s awareness of where it is in space. This heightened awareness can help athletes maintain better balance and coordination.

4. **Compression and Swelling Reduction**: Taping can apply gentle compression to the ankle, which may help reduce swelling and provide a therapeutic effect for certain conditions like minor sprains.

5. **Psychological Confidence**: Some athletes feel more psychologically confident and secure with their ankle taped, which can positively impact their performance.

It’s essential to note that while ankle taping can offer these benefits, it’s crucial to learn the proper taping techniques to ensure effectiveness and avoid potential skin irritation or circulation issues!

Many women experience symptoms of:
Urgency —> sudden compelling urge to run to the loo

Pelvic heaviness —> a dragging, heavy pelvic sensation that can be associated with pelvic organ prolapse

Stress urinary incontinence —> loss of urine during stress such as exercise, coughing or sneezing

Although common, these symptoms are not normal and an indication of possible pelvic dysfunction that your local pelvic physiotherapist can take care of!
