STRAP EM!
While the vast array of strapping methods used in this window were intended to achieve a therapeutic objective, the techniques may differ depending on the reasoning and artistic interpretation of the trainer. The aim of strapping is to limit any unwanted movement by a limb or joint. The tape has been applied with a degree of improvisation necessary to provide support to the huge amount of disarticulated limbs. The taping featured in this window will hopefully help the body parts recover from sprains and aid in rehabilitation. Taping was not applied to the broken jaw of the one whole subject to allow some degree of cheering from the injury bench.
