Sprained my ankle after a soccer game. Applied this with an ankle sleeve on top. My mobility returned in matter of few days. Thanks!

Brilliant - sprained my ankle Sunday afternoon, watched this video Monday morning and strapped as per instructions, added a compression sock for good measure - Tuesday morning swelling much less and feeling much better. Thank-you :-)

WOW...success!!!!! I wiped out on a trail race, had swelling, all the other tutorials had someone else doing the taping, and was a different method than you are using, not only did you apply it yourself, but (personally) it was in the precise location for both support, recovery, and pain relief!!!!!!!

Great video. I find that your post is the best due to the fact that you apply the tape yourself. I just bought myself a stash of tape and I can't wait to give it a go. Cheers mate

thanks very much for this, I sprained my ankle 3 months ago, and can now do quite a lot with it, need a bit of support for some activity's, I am hoping this technique will help me

I have just taped my ankle using this method. I am returning to basketball tonight after I rolled my ankle a month ago. Here's hoping it does the trick

If I still can't walk on it should I be taping it? Or is this only if you intend to bearing weight on it in early stages or rehab?

[@skinetextape]

Please consult with a doctor and a physio therapist. Taping should be done for rehab or even as a preventative measure. If you can not walk on your ankle, it may be indication of some ligament damage or more. Please see your health practitioner as soon as possible!
