Case Study 3: Physiotherapy

Ankle Wrapping with a Crepe Bandage Through a Physiotherapist’s Perspective

Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries seen in both sports and daily activities. In the early phase of injury, especially within the first 48 to 72 hours, proper ankle wrapping with a crepe bandage can play an important role in managing symptoms and supporting recovery.

From a physiotherapist’s perspective, ankle wrapping is not just about covering the joint. It is about providing appropriate support, controlling swelling, improving comfort, and allowing safe, functional movement while the tissues begin to heal.

Why Crepe Bandage Wrapping Matters
• Helps control swelling and manage acute inflammation
• Provides mild support without restricting circulation
• Reduces pain and discomfort during weight bearing
• Encourages safe movement while protecting injured tissues

Clinical Approach to Ankle Wrapping
• Wrapping starts distally and moves proximally to support venous return
• Bandage tension is maintained at a moderate level, not too tight or loose
• A figure of eight technique is used for functional joint support
• Circulation is checked by monitoring capillary refill and sensation
• R.I.C.E principles are followed alongside wrapping
• Rewrapping is advised as swelling reduces to maintain proper support

When Crepe Bandage Wrapping Is Appropriate
• Mild to moderate ankle sprains
• Post exercise swelling
• Early return to activity under guidance
• Temporary support before full physiotherapy assessment

When It Should Be Avoided
• Suspected fractures
• Severe swelling or visible deformity
• Numbness or tingling after application
• Long term use without addressing the underlying cause

Proper ankle wrapping combines technique, timing, and clinical reasoning. The goal is always to support healing while allowing safe movement and preventing further injury.

Case Study 2 Physiotherapy

Understanding Wallet Sciatica Through a Physiotherapist’s Perspective

Wallet sciatica is a commonly overlooked cause of buttock and leg pain. Sitting on a thick wallet can create uneven pelvic positioning, compress the piriformis muscle, and irritate the sciatic nerve. Over time, this may lead to deep buttock pain, tingling, numbness, or shooting discomfort down the leg. From a physiotherapist’s perspective, addressing wallet sciatica starts with correcting daily habits and restoring balanced movement.

Physiotherapy Management Focus:

• Ergonomic correction by removing the wallet before sitting, maintaining level hips, using firm seating, and adjusting car seats to reduce pelvic stress.
• Movement awareness through avoiding prolonged sitting and encouraging regular posture breaks every 45 to 60 minutes.
• Piriformis and gluteal flexibility using targeted stretching to reduce muscle tension around the sciatic nerve.
• Neural mobility through controlled sciatic nerve gliding to reduce nerve sensitivity without overstretching.
• Hip, core, and pelvic stability training to improve load distribution and prevent recurrent symptoms.

Wallet sciatica is often one of the most preventable causes of sciatic pain. With simple ergonomic changes, appropriate exercises, and consistent physiotherapy guidance, many individuals experience significant relief and return to comfortable, pain free daily activities. Through a physiotherapist’s eye, the goal is not just symptom relief but long term postural balance and spinal resilience.
