Groin Strain Strapping

The following guidelines are for information purposes only. We recommend seeking professional advice before attempting any rehabilitation.

What is required?

• A 7cm or 10cm elastic or elastic cohesive bandage.
• 2.5cm non stretch zinc oxide tape

Step 1:

• Starting on the inside of the thigh to be supported wrap once around the thigh applying tension across the front and upwards of the groin.

Step 2:

• Pass the bandage around the back of the waist and around to the front.
• Then pass the bandage around the back of the thigh and around the groin once more applying tension to the front and upwards on the groin.
• Again, pass around the back and repeat this as required or until the bandage runs out.

Step 3:

• Follow the same pattern with a roll of 2.5cm zinc oxide tape.
• Start on the inside of the groin, pass around the thigh applying tension as the tape comes around the groin and up the front of the thigh.
• Pass the tape around the back of the waist, across the front and then back around the thigh to the start.
