PREPARING FIBRE TAPE (Long bits) 1. TEAR 2. FOLD 3. REMOVE Close to one end Long side back Short side

FIBRE TAPE • Apply in line with tissue fibres • End to end application • Apply with approx 10% (no added stretch) • No stretch ends of tape

PREPARING DECOMPRESSION TAPE (Short bits) • Tear paper in centre of tape. • Fold back paper on both side. • Apply even stretch (20-80%) across width of tape.

DECOMPRESSION TAPE • Apply perpendicular or oblique to fibres. • Middle out application. • Apply with 20-80% stretch. • No stretch on ends of tape

CALF CALF • Maintain calf stretch throughout app. • Apply Fibre Tape no added tape stretch over affected area. • Decompression tape over site of max pain 50-80% tape stretch. • Can be used to tape central, lat or med calf.

QU QUADS ADS • Quad on stretch. • Fibre tape over tight/sore part of muscle with no added tape stretch. • Decompression Tape (optional) over sorest spot. 50-80% tape stretch. • Consider wide tape for bigger legs.

ILIO ILIOTIBIAL B TIBIAL BAND AND • Knee in 30⁰ bend. Hip extended and adducted. Outer thigh on stretch. • Fibre Tape over ITB. From tibial tubercle to hip with paper off tape stretch. • Decompression Tape (optional) over sorest spot. 50-80% tape stretch.

LOWER LIMB SRT Tibialis Anterior Tibialis Posterior Fibularis Longus

SHIN SPLINTS • Apply long strip with light stretch over shin (half on bone) • Apply short strip at 45° over sorest point(s)to pull tissue towards bone. 50-80% tape stretch. • Try wide DT if diffuse area of pain

ANTERIOR KNEE ANTERIOR KNEE • Hip straight Knee flexed to 90°, quads stretched • Apply base over top of shin with no stretch • Curve tape around edge of patella with approx 50% stretch • Once tape has crossed superior patella tendon lay rest of tape with 10-20% stretch • Repeat on opposite side

ANTERIOR ANTERIOR KNEE KNEE

PATELLA TENDON TELLA TENDON • Lying or standing. Knee flexed to stretch quad. • Apply Fibre Tape from top of quads to tibial tubercle with no added stretch. • Apply Decompression Tape over sorest spot with 50-80% stretch.

ACHILLES SR CHILLES SRT • Calf on stretch. • Apply base of fibre tape to ball of foot (or heel pad) • Lay tape with 10% stretch over sole of foot, 10-50% over Achilles tendon. • Apply rest of fibre tape with 10% stretch over calf. • Apply decompression tape over sorest spot on tendon.

ACHILLES SRT DECOMPRESSION TAPE OPTIONS Insertional Mid Tendon Prox Tendon

ACHILLES WRAP SR CHILLES WRAP SRT • Calf on stretch. • Apply middle of tape just in front of heel. • Between sole of foot and ankle bone curve tape 45°. • Apply tape with 25-50% stretch diagonally over Achilles tendon. • Apply rest of strip with paper off stretch over muscle on opposite side. • Tape should cross at sorest spot on tendon.

THO THORA RACIC DPT CIC DPT COMBINED COMBINED • In standing draw shoulder blades back and down. • Start tape over end of collar bone. • Apply 20-60% Stretch to middle part of tape. • Lay end of tape with no stretch under opp scapula • Check the tension is enough to discourage what you don’t want, but free enough to allow full movement.

TAPING FOR POSTURE TALL SPINE • Bottom ½ of tape. Apply with back stretched (toe touch). No added tape stretch • Top ½ of tape. Apply with shoulders back and down, palms forward. 40-60% stretch on tape.

POWERTAPING FOR PERFORMANCE CONSIDER USING: • If specific muscle group(s) tire quickly • If specific muscle group(s) tighten up/cramp. • To alter gait: Overstride, Cross-over, knee drift. HOW TO APPLY: • Put tissue on full stretch during application • Apply tape with no added stretch • Ends of tape with 0% stretch

POWERTAPING FOR TRUNK

PREPARING FOR ULTRAS • Tape up night before for best stick and last. • Carry tape to manage on course problems • Tape on the roll + small scissors • Pre-cut strips • Baby wipes/kitchen roll/alcohol gel)

ALSO GOOD FOR • Protecting toes and feet. • Reducing skin chaffing for clothes and packs. • Running repairs to kit. • Sticking stuff together!!

DON’T GO O.T .T .

SUMMARY • ALWAYS: Round ends/Apply end of tape with no stretch/Rub tape all over to stick • For Pain: Full tissue stretch/No added tape stretch/Decompression at sorest point (Some tape stretch). • For Posture: Correct position/Moderate tape stretch. • Experiment to get the best results. • ALWAYS buy !! • Facebook: RocktapeUK • Twitter: @rocktapeuk & @rockdocuk (me!)
