Here's another example of taping for knee pain, specifically, patellofemoral knee pain, often called "jumper's knee". Despite its name, it can affect people from many different sporting backgrounds, even those who aren't particularly sporty.

Here's the science part:

- Reduce pain by unloading the stressed patellar tendon and improving tracking of the kneecap.
- Enhance movement control by providing proprioceptive feedback, helping you move more efficiently during activity.
- Improve performance through increased confidence in knee stability during jumping, running, and landing.
- Support recovery by decreasing tension on the tendon while still allowing functional movement.

If you’re managing a minor ni**le before an upcoming competition, taping offers a simple, reassuring way to protect the area and maintain your performance.

The Star Taping Method for Hamstring Support

To demonstrate some of the different styles and methods of taping, this photo shows the “star” application for the hamstring, taken by Eli during his degree training. This dynamic taping technique is designed to support muscle recovery and reduce tension.

By assisting the hamstrings during movement, this method can help decrease muscle fatigue and lower the risk of overstrain. It may also help relieve discomfort and improve circulation by gently lifting the skin, encouraging better blood and lymphatic flow.

If you’re managing a minor ni**le before an upcoming competition, taping offers a simple, reassuring way to protect the area and maintain your performance.

Have you seen people with intricate patterns of sticky tape about their person and wondered what that's all about?

Taping involves applying special adhesive tape to the skin to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. It can help reduce pain, swelling, and fatigue by improving circulation and providing gentle stability to injured or overworked areas. Taping is often used during recovery or in sports to aid performance and prevent reinjury.

The photos are of some taping that Eli did last week for someone in the final stages of a calf injury who had an important race over the weekend. While it's not ideal to compete with an injury, taping adds a layer of support to help prevent reinjury during the event, and it also adds some confidence and peace of mind to the athlete that they can push a bit harder.

As there an many different types and brands of tape, it would be best that we speak first and make sure the correct type of tape is chosen for your needs.

Taping is provided by our Sports Therapist, Eli Nselala.

What is a Deep Tissue Massage, really?

Many people think of deep tissue as a single style of massage. But technically, it simply means using firm pressure that works into the deeper layers of muscle and fascia.

In reality, “deep tissue” is more of an umbrella term than a technique on its own. Think of it like saying “transport” - it could mean a car, a bus, or a truck. Likewise, deep tissue could involve a variety of methods, all depending on your therapist’s approach and your needs.

At The Body Sage Clinic, we tailor pressure and techniques to suit your body—so you get effective, targeted results, not just a label.
