Do you know how to apply elastic tape to prevent or reduce wrist pain?

Hockey is a sport that forces a lot of wrist work and sometimes, we can have pain. Using elastic tape can provide with stability and mechanical support. Additionally, and allows for slight healthy range of motion in order to speed the healing process. .

The wrist is made up of eight small bones that support a narrow passage called the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel, supported by a ligament, carries through it the tendons that control the motions of the hand and fingers as well as the nerve that causes such great pain in the condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. The wrist primarily is designed to provide range of motion and versatility, but is built in a way to provide stability as well. There is a lot more interesting videos to watch at KT Tape.
