Strapping is an important orthopaedic aid for stabilising, unloading and protecting joints and parts of the body. It is fitted individually and can be used for a range of orthopaedic complaints in order to improve function and relieve pain.
How does strapping work?
Strapping is an orthopaedic aid produced from modern, breathable materials. It is fitted individually after a thorough analysis of your symptoms and the way you move. Strapping can stabilise joints, take load off them and protect them.
It is applied by experienced orthotists under medical guidance, using modern materials and techniques to ensure the best possible fit. The strapping is checked regularly and adjusted where needed.
Strapping can be used for various indications: after injuries, with chronic complaints, for stabilisation or to support rehabilitation. It is designed to preserve movement while providing the necessary support.
How long it is worn depends on the condition. Some strapping is worn only temporarily, other applications are intended for medium-term use. The effect is immediate and can improve quality of life considerably.
