"Motion is LIFE!" Lymphatic Drainage Taping on a Sprained Ankle - Using MVT©
One of my gymnasts sprained his ankle while running. I do not have a good picture of all the damage but the whole outside of his left foot is black, blue, and different shades of green. The ankle is about one and a half the size of the other ankle due to swelling. Good news, the gymnast has almost full range of motion, just pain and difficulty propelling forward.

This style of taping allows blood flow to move more freely by "lifting" the skin away from the fascia (muscle connective tissue covering). By applying the MVT© technique, the tape is applied during a specific movement to help facilitate a deficient movement seen, using manual muscle testing as a diagnostic guide. Sounds more complicated than it is!

Soon after some treatment and applying the tape, the gymnast regained full range of motion of the left ankle, said the pain was drastically reduced, and was able to push off the foot with much more force.
