Sports Medicine Advisor 2005.4: How to Use an Elastic Bandage (468 words) |
 | A bandage is a good reminder that you have an injury and should not overdo it. |
| The bandage is not sturdy enough to provide a lot of support, so it is possible to re-injure yourself while playing a sport or exercising with an elastic bandage on. |
| Be sure not to put the bandage on too tight as this may cause swelling on the body part away from the bandage. |
