A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Volker Schoeffl, who is both a Climber and an Orthopaedic Surgeon.

He had some really interesting information about Climbers and finger injuries.

Check out his excellent and easy to follow finger taping methods.

Take home messages:

  • Use thin tape
  • Use a figure of 8 technique
  • Make sure you tape the finger in a flexed position
  • Leave a gap for the soft tissue
