Preventative Taping and Injury Management

The video tutorial covers the role of taping and bandaging in enhancing athlete well-being. It explains preventative taping to avoid injuries, emphasizing the use of rigid tape for physical support and confidence. The tutorial also discusses taping for injury isolation, focusing on limiting joint movement and increasing stability. Lastly, it covers bandaging for immediate treatment, highlighting its role in reducing inflammation and preventing further damage.
