Exercise is essential for promoting wellbeing, reducing chronic pain, develops muscle strength and boosting lymphatic drainage.

Exercise can even have positive psychological effects and support patient’s mental health and education patients and empowering them in management of their exercise programmes.

It is important that when putting exercise programmes in place, they are appropriate to the patient’s condition and physical ability. If the programme is too strenuous, no benefit will be gained and at worst further injury or damage might result.

compression Garments and Kinesiology taping 

Compression Garments for Sports

A growing trend among professional and amateur sportsmen and sportswomen is the use of gradated compression socks or sleeves to improve their athletic performance and recovery. Whether it is during the actual event, after the event, or while travelling, today’s sports men and sportswomen are making graduated compression socks and sleeves a part of their everyday sports equipment.

The basic principle of true graded compression with the strongest pressure at the ankle when the blood is properly circulated, it restores much needed oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles that have been deprived during work outs or bouts of high activity. Compression garments help muscles regenerate more quickly and efficiently removing lactic acid that has built up.

With the holiday season. Wearing of properly fitted compression socks helps with encouraging light legs when travelling and enhancing the circulation through gentle pressure. This ensures your legs feel comfortable whilst travelling and can also reduce swelling.

 

Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic tool and has become increasingly popular within the sporting arena. Taping has been used for a long time for the prevention and treatment of sporting injuries. There are many benefits of kinesiology taping, including reducing oedema and improvement of lymphatic drainage. The tape works with the soft tissue of the body versus restricting it. The elasticity of the tape makes a good modality for the treatment for lymphoedema and chronic swelling.

Whilst many tapping applications may look similar, the differences are subtle and each taping is for treating a different condition. How a tape is applied can determine how it works on soft tissue. Applying the tape correctly is critical to ensuring that if provides maximum therapy and benefit to the patient.
