Taping technique for metacarpal phalangeal joint thumb injury 👍

👍 This taping technique is for a metacarpal phalangeal joint, or MCPJ, thumb injury using kinesiology tape.

It will help to add some stability and support to the joint whilst it goes through the healing process. 🖐️

It could be used for a light sprain, such as a grade 1 for example, or if you’re aiming to return to activity/sport after a more serious injury has settled - around 6 weeks afterwards - *so long as the joint is stable* 👈

👎 It can’t be used to immobilise the joint or if there are is anything serious going on. Any questions - let us know! 💬
