What is sports strapping?

Professional sports strapping and taping to protect joints, prevent re-injury, and keep you on the field.

How sports strapping works at Pegasus Peak

We check the joint and confirm the level of support you need, then apply rigid or elastic tape for the specific demands of your sport. We test it with sport-specific movements before you leave, and where practical we teach you to tape yourself for game day — always alongside a plan to rehabilitate the underlying cause.

Sports Strapping FAQs

Do I need a referral for sports strapping?

No — you can book directly. A referral is only needed for Medicare (CDM), Workers Compensation, CTP or NDIS-funded care.

Is strapping covered by private health insurance?

When it is done as part of a physiotherapy session it is generally claimable under physiotherapy extras, with HICAPS on the spot.

Can strapping replace rehab?

No. Tape protects the joint while you rehabilitate the underlying cause — it is a support, not a fix on its own.

How long does the tape stay on?

Usually for a single training session or match. We will advise when to remove it and check the skin underneath.

Will you teach me to tape myself?

Yes, where it is practical for your injury and sport, so you are covered on game day.
