close out around the ankle bone up to the
proximal anchor.
Step Five: Re-anchor proximal and distal
anchors.
**Dorsiflex Position of the foot

doesn't turn purple.
Step One:Anchors
1. 2 Proximal anchors around the arch of the foot.
2. 1 Distal anchor around the first proximal
phalanx.
Step Two: Support Strips
3. Apply support strips from distal anchor to
proximal anchor. Continually fan out each strip
across the plantar side of the foot. 4-5 strips.
Step Three: Breast Cancer Strips
4. 2 breast cancers looping the distal anchor.
**Make sure that breast cancer loops are
opposite to support strips.
Step Four: Re-anchor both proximal and distal
anchors.
**Only full width tape is used for the proximal
anchor.

HAMPSTRING
STRAIN
** Athlete must stand and elevate the heel of the
injured leg by 2"
** Use a 6 inches elastic double-length wrap.
1. Start wrapping at the lateral side of the hips.
2. Wrap towards the posterior side in a
downwards path, around the legs close to the
crotch, and upwards to the anterior side of the
leg. Starting point is folded.
3. Wrap around the the waist and towards the
medial side of the hip.
4. Continue anteriorly back to starting point.
5. Repeat steps 2,3, and 4 until wrap runs out.
6. Secure anteriorly with 2clips in the thighs.
SPRAINED
WRIST (HF/HE)
** HE: Slightly Flexed + HF: Slightly Extended
Step One: Anchors
1. 2 Proximal anchors around the wrist (slightly
above)
2. 1 Distal anchor on the palm (pinch tape when it
reaches the thumb)
Step Two: 5 Support Strips
3. For HF wrist: Dorsal side HE wrist: Plantar side
Step Three: Thumb Wrap
4. Starting at the distal anchor where the 5
support strips are located, tape towards the thumb
(pinch tape for it is the sensitive area) and
diagonally across the other side of the wrist. Wrap
around the wrist once and diagonally end to the
starting point.
Step Four: Thumb Hoods
5. Apply where the 1st metacarpal phalangeal
joint, covering the gap between the thumb wrap
and the 5 support strips. Finish off at the proximal
anchor.
Step Five: Re-anchor Thumb Wrap
Step Six: Re-anchor both proximal and distal
anchor.
BUDDY TAPING
** Felt or Foam between the injured fingers can
provide support. Must be the same measurement
with the shortest finger.
Step One: Tape between the first joint and the
knuckles.
Step Two: tape between the last joint and the first
joint (Do not tape over the joint that bends).
GROIN WRAP

the leg
2. Anteriorly wrap across the other side of the hip
without maximizing the stretch of the elastic
wrap.
