How to Tape an Ankle?

[All Chalked Up]

Just to clarify, I'm not looking for medical advice!

I'm wondering how to properly tape an ankle. My left one has been giving me some trouble, so my coach thinks I should have it taped or put a brace on for a little while. I'm not going the brace way yet, but I will if it continues! Thing is, no clue how to tape it. Thanks in advance!

Do you know what is wrong with it? There are many ways to tape an ankle.

If you do not know what is causing the pain, do visit the doctor, get a diagnosis and then taping it will be easier to advise on.

I learned at least three different ways for my girls, each one for a different issue. The wrong tape job would do nothing for you.

Not the side of the ankle, but at the top. I am going to go to the doctor/physio Friday, but I have training on Thursday. It's not so bad that I can't train, just a preventive measure! That's why I was wondering how to tape it.

My advice would be to train without impact until you see the doctor. It is only one practice.

Taping methods vary depending on where it hurts so if you go to the physio they can recommend a brace or a method of taping
