tape job

Athletic wrap application

A tape job is the application of athletic tape to a body part—typically ankles, wrists, or fingers—to provide support and prevent injury during sports.

Athletes get taped up before games or practice: The trainer gave him a quick tape job before he went back in.

The quality of the tape job matters; a good one offers stability without restricting movement.
