Athletic taping is a technique that can be used for acute and chronic ligament and/or tendon injuries. This additional support allows for earlier re-entry to sports and/or return to work. All our physiotherapists are trained in the McConnell taping method, used to re-educate muscle balance and restore normal movement patterns.
