Abstract

Although widely disputed, bandaging and taping techniques are common practice in sports medicine. This article reviews literature related to the efficacy of bandaging and taping procedures and their role in sport and dance medicine. It further examines dance-specific application principles, and outlines selected techniques for treatment of common dance-related pathologies.
