Taping and strapping are integral components of sports massage therapy, offering numerous benefits for both injury prevention and rehabilitation. This technique involves applying specialised tapes and straps to support muscles and joints, providing stability without restricting movement.
For athletes, taping and strapping can prevent injuries by reinforcing vulnerable areas, allowing them to perform with confidence. In cases of injury, it aids in reducing pain and swelling, promoting faster recovery and maintaining functional movement.
Non-athletes can also benefit from this method to manage chronic conditions such as tendonitis or arthritis, improving their daily comfort and mobility.
By offering targeted support and enhancing the effects of sports massage, taping and strapping contribute to overall musculoskeletal health and performance.

What clients say
“Lynne was very professional and put me completely at ease. Her anatomical knowledge is fantastic and she was able to diagnose a problem I have with my hip, treat it and even gave me some exercises to do after. I will definitely be using Lynne again and will be delighted to recommend her services too. Thank you Lynne ”
“Immediate feedback on my progress after seeing you Lynne. Found myself having a text conversation at 3am this morning with my son in Hong Kong, I was lying on my back in bed and realised 30mins in that I was not in any pain whatsoever! First time in a very long time! Jumped out of bed this morning too! Thank you!”
“Lynne is fantastic!! Her knowledge of anatomy and how all my muscles are working and when they’re not working correctly is incredible. She is well on the way to getting me in good shape and pain free. I have a very physically challenging job, which seasonally causes me great pain in my shoulders and back.
I won’t be going anywhere else from now on!! I can’t recommend her enough.”
