Simple steps to strapping an ankle:

1. Measure 4-fingers width above the ankle joint, then apply the first anchor tape.

2. Add 2 x stirrups ‘U’ shape, from ankle-to-ankle

3. Add 2 x 6’s each side of the ankle, loop from inside-out, then outside-in of the ankle. “Looks like a figure 6”

4. (optional) Add Heel-locks for maximum support. Start from top-front of the ankle, then wrap around, then behind the ankle. Then continue underneath the heel, then come back up to the front of the ankle to finish.

5. Finish off, by re-anchoring over STEP 1. This holds any loose ends in neatly.

6. Check for any tightness or cuts (check the capillary re-fill in the toes). Press down firmly on the tape to minimise creases in the tape. This helps to reduce movement through the tape.

7. Test the ankle. Move and walk on it, and see how it feels. The ankle should feel firm, and supported.
