Achilles Taping Bellevue University Athletic Training

[mackenziefall]

where did you go to college for training? just curious

[liverdaddy]

@mackenziefall Fort Hays State University in Hays KS

[ronnysoeberg]

I tried to do this but I think i kinda messed up somehow. Is the placement on the leg crucial? I think I might have started too high up, because I felt a lot of pull on the leg muscle attached to the back of the knee. I had to take it of so as not to mess up yet another part of my leg :P

[Koch1214]

could you put up a video of taping a wrist?

[seandadashi]

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed.

[Nurseveronica26]

what type of tape is the white one? just plain tape or does it have something inside?

[liverdaddy]

@Nurseveronica26

just plain white tape, "coach" by Johnson and Johnson

[oigame123]

what's the pre-bandage name ? the purple one that you use , what kind of tape was that

[liverdaddy]

@oigame123 It is called prewrap. You can purchase this in most sporting goods stores

[oigame123]

@liverdaddy Thanks a lot

[OhioStBuckboy]

@liverdaddy is it possible to have an achilles tendon tape job then an ankle tape job for sports

[liverdaddy]

@OhioStBuckboy , yeah, i usually do the achilles first, the angles of the heel locks are a bit tougher because you have the ankle at a 45 degree angle instead of 90. I might move the ankle up a bit so the achilles tape job still does what you want it to do. I had an athlete I did this with this year and it worked fine. Good Luck!

[OhioStBuckboy]

@liverdaddy Thanks

[yurimontemar]

i think it would be better if the patient lies prone... 

[allenabrantes]

what do you suggest as the best way to tape your ankles for basketball? i have week ankles.

[80mcm]

Mike (liverdaddy) knows his stuff. I injured my ankle a few years ago and after visiting him just a few times I was up and running again with little pain.

You are a very good teacher. I work with a football team where I've been taping for several years and always recommend people wanting to learn how to tape to view your videos where they can watch them over and over again between practicing. Thank you very much. Do you plan on doing other videos?

[SpydaMonster]

would the athlete still be able to play a game after getting taped?

[wagutoxD]

Hi! I would like to know whta kind of tapes are those. I'm not being able to distinguish it. It looks like a very specific sports tape or something. If aynone knows the name of this kind of tape in portuguese, it would be of great help! Thank you!

[liverdaddy]

@wagutoxD Amigo, as faixas usadas sao bem basicas. A roxa (primeira) eh conhecida como "pre-wrap" e eh usada pra proteger a pele. A segunda usada eh simplesmente esparadrapo. E a ultima, e a que voce estava em duvida, eh conhecida como "elastikon", que eh um tipo de esparadrapo um pouco mais elastico. Neste video voce esta enfaixando o tendao de aquilis, entao qualquer outro material pode ser usado.

[wagutoxD]

Liverdaddy, thank you very much! My doubt acctualy was about the "esparadrapo", haha! Thought it was something diferent, more specific for athletes. Thank god we have esparadrapo in Brazil, haha! I'm already using it and it's doing the job for my bad ankles while I play basketball (I'm doing the wrap job of the other video, of course). It was very kind and polite of you to go after the information and getting back to me, I really apreciate it! Can't thank you enough! Thx again! =p

[klayerowe]

I remember you..... you were that Athletic trainer of the year in 2007-08 and your favorite player of all time was Klaye Rowe haha

[liverdaddy]

@klayerowe

I think i remember him, tall guy with bad ankles

[romek18]

now thats some quality taping =)

[enk205]

These videos are so great! I am an athletic training major, and these help so much when Im trying to study.

[Victorgutten1]

Would like to se a video of taping a knee to prevent knee to pop out.

[dfarias19]

I would suggest taping an elbow to prevent hyperextention. I would like to see "liverdaddy's" technique.

[liverdaddy]

what ideas do you suggest?

[drrobbieb]

Nice taping vids. Can you post some of the upper extremities.
