🤚🏼 Trigger Finger Taping | ORTHOGIRLS 🩹

Dealing with triggering, clicking, or catching when bending your finger? 👀 Taping can help provide support and limit excessive motion to reduce irritation during daily activities.

✨ Save this technique for your next hand therapy session!

📌 Remember: Taping is one tool in the toolbox and may not be appropriate for every case.

👉🏼Trigger finger taping made simple!
This technique helps support the flexor tendon, reduce irritation, and limit painful “catching” during finger movement. Perfect for use during
daily tasks or rehab exercises - just remember, tape = support, not
restriction! 🤝🔥

💪🤝 Posterior → Anterior Mulligan glide at the elbow
This mobilization helps restore anterior joint glide of the ulna/radius on the humerus - something that often gets restricted after injury, immobilization, or prolonged guarding.
When that glide is limited, patients feel:
“Blocked” elbow extension
Posterior elbow pinching
Stiffness that stretching alone doesn’t fix
By applying a sustained P→A glide with the Mulligan belt, we can:
-reduce joint compression
- improve arthrokinematics
-decrease pain with movement
-restore terminal extension
The goal isn’t just motion during treatment — it’s creating a window for pain-free active movement right after, so the new range sticks.
Better joint mechanics → better movement → better function

🏈💪 TRAIN LIKE A PRO at MetLife Stadium!

Such a cool experience getting to be part of this event hosted by Alliance Performance yesterday! From the field to the performance side of things, it was an incredible opportunity to see sports performance and PT/OT in such an iconic setting.

Always grateful for experiences that bring together sports, performance, and rehab! 🔥

Your TKEs are about to level up 🔥

5 ways to train the terminal knee extension you’re probably missing:

Strap-assisted TKE
Ball-behind-the-knee TKE
Banded standing TKE
Banded step-down TKE
Banded walking TKE
Different setups. Same goal: own that last few degrees of knee extension. 🦵

Don’t just do TKEs—progress them.

Save this for your next rehab session 🔖

Wrist / Carpal Tunnel Taping 🤝
We tape the wrist in neutral to reduce pressure through the carpal tunnel and support proper alignment.
Extensor taping (distal → proximal) helps unload overworked muscles and decrease strain, while flexor taping with the wrist gently extended supports the tissues that tend to tighten and compress the nerve.
The goal: less pain, better support, and improved hand function throughout the day

Achilles tendon pain? 👣🩹
KT taping can be a helpful adjunct to your rehab plan—not a replacement for therapy.

Taping may provide temporary support, sensory feedback, and help make certain activities feel more comfortable while you work on the underlying issue through progressive strengthening, load management, mobility, and other individualized interventions.

The goal isn’t just to feel better today—it’s to build the capacity to get back to doing what you love. 💪

Think of taping as one tool in the toolbox, used alongside a comprehensive treatment plan.

🚨 POSTERIOR KNEE PAIN? TRY THIS TAPING TECHNIQUE 👇
That ache behind your knee can make walking, training, or even getting up from a chair uncomfortable.
🎯 Why taping may help:
Taping can provide light support and sensory input around the knee, which may help reduce the feeling of pain and make movement more comfortable.
It’s not a magic fix—and the right approach depends on what’s causing your pain—but it can be a useful tool alongside proper rehab. 💪

Posterior knee pain? 🦵
Here’s a Mulligan belt technique using an anterior glide of the tibia combined with slight knee flexion to promote gapping of the knee joint.
🔹 An anterior tibial glide is commonly used to promote knee extension.
🔹 However, some patients with posterior knee pain may feel relief when moving into knee flexion while the belt provides a sustained glide/gapping force.
The goal isn’t simply to force a direction—it’s to find a pain-relieving movement response and use the belt to facilitate that movement.
Always assess the individual patient and their response to the technique. 👌
