Hip Flexor Muscle Strain Wrap:

1. Have the athlete place their heel of their injured leg on a heel block
2. Begin on the medial side of the upper-thigh and wrap laterally and superiorly around the leg twice.
3. Bring the wrap superiorly to cross the ASIS, pulling tightly upward (into hip flexion).
4. Have the athlete place their hand over their wrap covered ASIS
5. With low tension, bring the wrap around the back and cross the other ASIS. Have the athlete also place a hand over the wrap here to keep it from moving.
6. After coming around the waist, pull the wrap down across the body and wrap around the leg creating a figure 8 motion around the thigh and hip.
7. Secure the wrap with white athletic tape or Co-flex, following the same figure 8 pattern.

Adductor Muscle Strain Wrap:

1. Have the athlete place their heel of their injured leg on a heel block
2. Begin on the lateral aspect of the upper-thigh and wrap medially and superiorly around the leg twice.
3. Bring the wrap superiorly to cross the ASIS, pulling upward.
4. Have the athlete place their hand over their wrap covered ASIS
5. Bring the wrap around the back and cross the other ASIS. Have the athlete also place a hand over the wrap here to keep it from moving.
6. After coming around the waist, pull the wrap tightly down and in as you wrap around the leg (causing hip adduction). This completes the figure 8 motion around the thigh and hip.
7. Secure the wrap with white athletic tape or Co-flex, following the same figure 8 pattern.

Longitudinal Arch (Arch Taping):

1. Before starting, decide if you will use full or ½ strips of white tape. This depends on the size of your athlete.
2. Apply Tuf-skin to the plantar surface of the foot. Apply an anchor strip to the distal pad of the foot (sesamoid bone to small toe).
3. Apply 3-5 tear drops to the plantar surface of the foot. Start at the pinky toe, go medial across the plantar surface, around the heel, and back up medially across the plantar surface to the big toe (sesamoid bone).
4. Apply horizontal strips. Start just above the calcaneus and work your way up. Strips should be placed from lateral to medial. Pull up into the arch in order to create the arch.
5. Finish the tape job with coflex. Apply pulling lateral to medial across the midfoot in order to hold the tape and form the arch more.

Patellar Tendon: The patellar tendon tape job is used to help support the patella tendon by reducing the stress placed on it by physical activity.

1. Have the athlete place their injured leg on a heel block
2. Pre-wrap around the knee covering the midpoint between the patella and the tibial tuberosity
3. Apply one layer of conform with little to no stretch
4. Measure out the Elasticon will full stretch and ensure a 1” gap is present on the back of the knee
5. Apply the Elasticon with full stretch and equilateral pressure directly to the patellar tendon. Ensure that there is still a gap in the back and that the tape is placed on with high pressure.
6. Apply one layer of Conform directly over the Elasticon with little to no stretch. This last layer should cover the gap in the back of the knee.
