💥 KT TAPING FOR A DEAD LEG 💥

A dead leg is a contusion injury to the quadriceps usually caused by direct impact to the muscle group.

This causes rupture to the muscle fibers at or directly adjacent to the area of impact, usually leading to hematoma formation within the muscle causing pain and loss of motion.

Rest, ice, compression and elevation is advised in the first 24-48 hours of injury in order to limit the bleeding within muscle tissue

In the treatment of a dead leg, KT TAPE can be cut into a ‘lymphatic fan’ and applied as above

This elevates the skin and stimulates drainage of the swelling, reducing pain and reducing recovery time
