Get back to pain-free living with Newcastle’s most trusted physiotherapy experts.”
Taping therapy is a proven method for supporting joints, muscles, and tendons during activity or recovery. Using high-quality elastic or rigid sports tape, we help stabilise injured areas, reduce strain, and promote healing — all while allowing you to stay active. This technique can reduce swelling, improve circulation, and provide sensory feedback that encourages better movement patterns. It’s widely used by athletes to protect against injury during training and competition, but it’s just as effective for everyday aches, postural support, and rehabilitation after injury. Unlike bulky braces, tape offers lightweight, breathable support that moves with your body. Our taping therapy can be applied before sports events for performance support, after injury for recovery, or as part of a broader treatment plan alongside massage, dry needling, or exercise rehab. Each application is customised to your needs, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness. Whether you need short-term pain relief, joint stability, or injury prevention, taping therapy is a simple but powerful solution.
We start with a thorough assessment to understand your injury, activity level, and movement patterns. Based on this, we select the most appropriate taping method — from flexible kinesiology tape for mobility to rigid sports tape for maximum stability. Our therapists ensure correct tension and positioning for optimal support and comfort. We also teach you how to care for the tape and, if needed, reapply it at home.
