How do you tape the quervain?
After a brace, the quervain tap gives the best support to the thumb and wrist. The purpose of taping is to ensure that the tendon can not stretch too far: this prevents further overloading of the muscles. It has to be taken into account that the tape is placed correctly, otherwise it can backfire.
Use professional sports tape or bandages and leave lesser tape behind. This prevents skin damage and postponement of injury treatment around the wrist.
Start by making a foundation. Here you build a strip in the shape of a ring around the base of the wrist. Then create a side loop. This is laid out in the cavity from your wrist to the thumb. Then apply a front loop. The front loop is applied in the opposite way to the side loop. Finally, tape the distal joint.
