Ankle pain
Pain in the ankle joint is a common problem and can occur in different areas of the joint. They can manifest in the anterior, lateral, posterior area or in the entire ankle. This pain can occur acutely, often as a result of injuries such as sprains or overstrain. On the other hand, they may also be chronic and due to degenerative changes or repeated injuries. This can lead to severe restrictions on the mobility of the foot and cause symptoms such as stiffness, swelling, instability or reduced mobility.

Step by step tape tutorial
Begin by applying the lymph tape to the ankle by placing the base of the blue tape in the direction of the drain and peeling the release paper down to a small residue.
Position the foot in dorsal extension and apply the rear reins without tension.
Bring the foot into plantar flexion and apply the front reins without tension.
Position the foot in neural version (neutral position), with a slight inversion (minimally turned inwards), and apply the middle reins without tension.
The same application is done on the inside of the foot (medially on the foot).
Attach the upper reins without stretch.
The same follows for the lower and middle reins of the tape.
This is what the finished lymphatic application looks like.
Et voilà! You're done with the application on the ankle.
