AC Joint Strapping with Bedford Blues

In this video the physio for Bedford Blues Rugby Club gives a demonstration of how he uses a dermal pad directly over the AC joint to provide targeted cushioning, then secures it with Hypafix to keep the pad firmly in place during training or matches.

This method can help provide extra support and cushioning if you’re managing players recovering from an AC joint injury.

If you’re a physiotherapist OR sports therapists working in rugby or other contact sports and treating shoulder injuries or looking to improve player protection strategies, this step-by-step guide offers valuable, easy to apply techniques for clinical and pitch side settings.
