3. Bracing with Tape
Mobility tape is available to order online, and a lot of people don’t realize just how useful it can be for their health until they try it. It’s a well-known product used by a lot of people in professional sports every day, but it’s gaining more popularity as a way to support painful joints and muscle strains outside the world of sport with more people adding it to their medical kits every day.
In cases of an avulsion fracture, especially after surgery has been done to help the fracture heal or after the cast has been removed, the affected body part is in need of added support. Traditional braces are often too tight to use straight after surgery, and tape allows for the same support that a brace would have given – just without the possible discomfort associated with bracing up after surgery.
This type of tape is strong enough to support a healing fracture, but not so tight that it can impair blood flow.
