Ankle Taping

Posted on 30 May 2024 | By Dominique Fingleton | Category: Ankle Taping

Here are some key tips to summarise the video for a lateral ankle ligament sprain:

Appropriate diagnosis from qualified physiotherapist
Always use Hypafix prior to taping
Ankle positioned in as much dorsiflexion as possible (foot pointing back towards nose)
Ensure tape is not applied over bony prominence of base of 5^th metatarsal
Re-test circulation of foot by squeezing the big toe/nail and observing capillary return

I hurt my lower back playing basketball and was concerned about my long term goal to continue playing, but Lexington helped me rehab and strengthen, and gave me a pre-game warm which has me playing better than ever.. Wish I'd found them sooner!

I was experiencing chronic knee pain due to osteo in my knee, compounded by multiple underlying injuries. I have been so impressed by the thorough assessment & treatment plan for my knee. The exercises & program proscribed have greatly improved my knee & Carlo is so attentive & willing to answer all my questions. I highly recommend considering Lexington Health!

From the first second when I see the receptionist (Dominic) until I finish the physio session has been fantastic. It has been a very positive progress to my weak ankles and heels. They are now much much stronger and stable. Amy Camilerri has designed a very good exercise for both ankles. She progressively monitor my ankles and increase the strength of the exercise. Highly recommended if you need a well being body conditioning. Thank you Amy

Amy is an exceptionally thorough, professional and comforting physiotherapist. She has helped me rehab and maintain my recovery from a hamstring injury, as well as reassure and develop my confidence in returning to play. Her ability to go above and beyond putting her patients well-being at the forefront of her efforts is guaranteed to put your mind at ease, aiding the healing process. I definitely recommend Amy and the Lexington health staff to anyone seeking physiotherapy.

I'd give Lextington Health a higher rating if I could! My surgery didn't go as planned, and I haven't had the easiest recovery. Ben was suggested to me, and I am incredibly appreciative of his expertise, compassion, understanding, and warmth. Every member of the Lexington Health staff is skilled, knowledgeable, and carefully customises plans to meet your needs. If someone wants to see results, I sincerely suggest Lexington Health.

Have had Carlo look at a couple of separate sports injuries I had over the past year. He has been great. On both occasions I have recovered to 100% strength and function after the rehab plan he recommended. The process was great, first the initial consult where he's actively listening and trying to find more context around the pain/movement, then aims to validate it with the expertise and experience (lots of different exercises tailored and often without the need for expensive equipment at home). Will always go back to seek Carlo's help on injury rehab as well also help me understand the body in general for a sustainable active lifestyle. Keep up the good work, Carlo!

I had a fantastic experience at Lexington Physiotherapy in Norwest, specifically with Carlo as my physiotherapist. He played a pivotal role in helping me overcome my rotator cup shoulder injury which i had for over 2 years . Carlo's expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout my treatment.Carlo was at first very thorough and patient with his assessment of my condition allowed him to create a personalized treatment plan that targeted my specific needs. For the next few months, he consistently demonstrated his knowledge and skill in physiotherapy, giving me growing confidence in his abilities. I had to admit i was not a patient person when it came to nurture injuries like this but I appreciated Carlo's clear explanations and willingness to address any questions or concerns I had. His hands-on approach to therapy, combined with targeted exercises, significantlyimproved my range of motion and reduced my pain.I highly recommend Carlo and the team at Lexington Physiotherapy for their exceptional care and commitment to their patients' well-being.

Best Physio practice that I have ever been to! I live in the NT and dropped in to see Amy when I was in Sydney for a holiday for a pretty debilitating back injury, I continued to see Amy via video chat when I returned home and I’m now fully recovered and back to lifting heavy weights in the gym! I can’t recommend Amy and the other physio’s in this practice enough, 10/10!!

Was recommended to Ben at Lexington Health by an Ambulance Colleague. She couldn’t speak high enough of the service provided. Now I’m the same, the staff are friendly, extremely knowledgeable and helpful.After first contact, I had my first appointment within 2 days. I had Ben and Nav at my first appointment, so if one’s unavailable, there’s still a Physio that can see me, because they know my treatment plan. I feel like I’ve been going here for years, not 3 weeks.I Highly Recommend them for your Holistic Physio Treatment.

I have had the pleasure of being treated by a few of the professionals at Lexington Physio over the past few years. Initially meeting them when I started doing personal training with their colleague in their studio and then as a patient after a sudden injury. They have all been friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and most importantly, effective in helping me to address my specific needs. (For me this meant being able to avoid surgery and improve my strength even even better levels than pre injury). I have since returned after another injury and had the same genuine and caring support to regain my physical mobility and confidence. I will always recommend these guys to anyone who wants to get themselves moving better.

Excellent service and great advice given when my daughter broke her foot and the doctor insisted on a cast. They suggested we go with a second opinion and even told us they would arrange an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon and that a boot would work better. We ended up with a boot and she’s doing great 👍🏻A huge thanks to them

Amy at Lexington physio has helped me so much. I’ve had elbow pain for a few months and knee pain for years with other therapy that produced little result.Within the first session, Amy worked out both issues and came up with a plan that would work and suited to me.Now after three weeks, I’ve had amazing results with elbow pain nearly gone all together and my knee on the path to quick recovery. Thank you Amy.

I saw Carlo Villadiego at Lexington Physio. He was absolutely great. I went to treat bursitis of my shoulder. I was amazed how quickly I progressed due to the exercise program he customised for me. Carlo was great at changing the exercises to suit what I was comfortable doing which helped to keep me motivated and stick with the program.

This one is an emotional one for me. In January 2022 I fell down at home while gurney-ing my veranda. It was a solid fall on my rear end but I got up & finished the clean. A few days later I woke up and couldn’t move. I crawled out of bed in agony barely even functioning. Not knowing (at the time) what had happened to my legs…I went into panic. So desperate to find answers I immediately did an MRI, discovering a herniated disc in S5/L1 of about 18mm, with some other bulging discs below too. I didn’t know what this actually meant, so I started pushing myself to doing all sorts of therapies (acupuncture, dry needling, wet cupping, Ayurvedic, you name it I did it), day in & out, desperate for relief & to get back to baseline. After many sessions each, they offered me little to no relief. I also did 2 cortisone injections a month apart that also did nothing. Before I knew it, I was in even more excruciating pain, barely even functioning, crawling on the floor and inevitably I was hospitalised twice. The advice from specialists was that I needed surgery… something I wasn’t willing to do. On my last hospital discharge in may, I knew I needed to find a physiotherapist but I didn’t know who?! I left the hospital on a walking aid at 32 years old. I couldn’t function without heavy opioids & other pain killers. I was a total mess. At that point my kid was my full time carer & life flipped on us 360. THANKgod for Facebook… I was able to share my circumstance with some mums & CARLOs name kept popping up, he was highly recommended. I booked him in. From the very very first day… CARLO was empathetic, he was genuine, he was caring, professional and above all, TRANSPARENT. I remember he told me that this is not a “quick fix” though if I commit and I work with him, do the exercises & follow his advice then I’m not going to require surgery, and it can be done naturally. This advice that he gave with certainty aligned with my own personal views about the body & it’s incredible ability to heal itself. I wanted to commit & give Physiotherapy a good shot before going “under the knife”. Well, here we are…weekly visits & 5 months later. Not only am I WALKING AID FREE, I am also almost pain free & almost opioid free. Even my pain specialist who hadn’t seen me in 3 months was shocked to see me walking. Carlo has helped me get my life back again. He has supported me mentally, emotionally and physically. He helped me understand the problem, he educated me, he guided me, step by step. I had many ups and downs, sometimes felt like giving up, but with his reassurance, his professionalism, his wisdom and his knowledge, I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. This guy is beyond superb. I couldn’t recommend him or thank him enough. I know I will FULLY recover as my progress has been exceptional thus far and it couldn’t have been done without him invested in my recovery. THANKYOU so much Carlo, 🙌🏼 You’re incredible & you will go a long way in your career. Words will never do your work Justice

Hurt my knee at work and was off work for months. I could not even walk at the start of it and it was frustrating since no doctors were able to tell me what was wrong. However Carlo was able to help me work through my injury and get to a good place again. It took months and at times seemed like it would take a lot longer, however Carlo kept going with it and more importantly convinced me that I could keep working through it to get better and he did a great job helping me get back to having a fully functioning knee. Highly recommend Lexington health and specifically Carlo as he is very good at what he does.
