Here are some of the most common injuries that you may experience if you have an active lifestyle and the kinesiology taping techniques that you can use for each condition:
ANKLE SPRAIN
An ankle sprain is one of the most common injuries that can happen to people, no matter the age. This injury happens when the foot twists too much. This results in the ligament or cartilage in the ankle getting stretched or torn.
If you want to know about this injury and the kinesiology taping protocol recommended by Geeked Rehab, you can check everything there is to know about ankle sprain in this article.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is commonly caused by repetitive gripping motions that use the thumb and the first two fingers.
Learn more about tennis elbow from the Tape Geeks blog and learn the kinesiology taping protocol for it.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis happens when the plantar fascia (the band of connective tissue that runs along the sole) becomes irritated. Its common cause is overuse associated with activities like walking or running. Read more about plantar fasciitis here.
Knee Pain

IT Band/ Hip Pain
The IT (iliotibial) band is a long piece of tissue that facilitates hip movement. It spans from the hip to the knee and shin bone. Pain in this area is usually felt by athletes if they don’t rest enough after an activity or if they’ve pushed themselves too far and too long.
Read more about IT band pain and its kinesiology taping protocol in our blog.
Shoulder Impingement
Shoulder impingement or rotator cuff tendinitis is commonly caused by poor posture and pain and swelling when the edge of the shoulder blades rub against the rotator cuff. If you’re experiencing this condition, learn more about shoulder impingement and the kinesiology taping protocol to help alleviate the discomfort.
AC Joint Sprain
The acromioclavicular or AC joint is where the collarbone and the scapula meet. The sprain happens when the two separate from each other. Learn more about AC Joint sprain, its causes, symptoms, and treatment in our blog.
