Thanks a lot for the video. i have an ankle injuries and didn't know how to do this until i watch this video. Your video has helped me to healing process for my ankle injuries.

[@xxaxxajax2776]

Great video, really helped

[@jerkwang69]

That's a lot of tape! How long do you recommend going before taking it off? Can you sleep with it on?

[@TakinU2TheLimit]

That tape job was so messy! When I was in class you would get graded down if it wasn't smooth and flat! Those wrinkles can cause sore spots

[@drblakeshealingsole]

Thank you and well put! With this type of tape, the less wrinkles the better. Rich

[@drblakeshealingsole]

TakinU2TheLimit thank you. Yes, wrinkles can cause irritation. Well put! Rich

[@Toefurkey]

Yeah that second base strip around the bottom of the foot made my physically cringe at how big of a lip it had 😳

[@drblakeshealingsole]

@@Toefurkey At least you can get the basic idea of the tape. Rich

[@Unspoken48]

Can you do mine just for the soothing effect then take it off for the calming and relaxation

[@abelliiaabelliia1454]

If the patient is having a hard time to evert his foot. Is it okay to do what's in the video? like from medial to lateral stirrups?

[@DerBubboTea]

If there is pain when everting foot, go from lateral to medial!

[@drblakeshealingsole]

You have to find the range or position that is comfortable, so experimentation with the medial and lateral stirrups is a wonderful idea. 'Rich

[@drblakeshealingsole]

yes, Susan.

[@kingmix3518]

All these stupid comments about too much tapes lol that's how it's supposed to be

[@drblakeshealingsole]

Thanks for your support!! Rich

[@dimeandbiggie353]

It is alot of tape tho.

[@danielclark6157]

The ankle will swell post injury. With that much tape its going to be a problem. Second, the anchors shouldn't go all the way around because of again swelling.

[@drblakeshealingsole]

Daniel, yes, there are very versions of ankle tapings. This was one of our athletic trainers favorites. It is for performance, and then to be taken off. In sports, it is used to restrict the motion for several hours. And, yes, as another comment talked about below, you can experiment with putting a little eversion into the taping for better lateral support. Rich

[@Valdesgreen]

Where do you buy both tapes?

[@juneablaza7196]

u go to the farmer market..

[@insulareshdxo9454]

The direction of taping has to be in the direction to eversion

[@drummist1000]

I feel a loss of blood circulation just watching this video

[@drblakeshealingsole]

Great comment! Yes, patients have to be careful when doing the anchor strips that they are not too tight! If it tights during the day, you need to take off. There are plenty of other tape techniques that do not wrap completely around giving swelling an Avenue to escape, This particular tape is for a single game time frame in general! Thanks for your comment! Rich

[@karanzalavlogs]

[@cjnunez9306]

way too much wrap

[@zikrizulkarnain99]

But this is the right way on how to do strapping for ankle. If you think too much tape was used, yeah you dont have to apply this strapping technique. Use your own way 👀 better study first before commenting on something.

[@ecyojnej]

not a real medical video. this is not okay. it's not really going to harm but not real

[@whalenchris94]

Clearly you never played sports for a school because you would know athletic trainers are doing this for their athletes every day and it is very effective for supporting ankle sprains.

[@zeeshanparvez5235]

They need to make real videos with real patients who have stinky ugly feet...

[@vasileiospetropoulos2046]

Perfect feet

[@paykar512]

her feet are amazing i would be so hard touching them

[@annanelleasang7150]

Massage is cure for ankle. Pain

[@andrewcrowley6135]

Invest in a mic. ffs. This is not real medical practice. . . .why?
