Injuries may be managed and prevented by investing in kinesiology tape (sometimes called kinesio tape). Kinesio tape is an elastic therapeutic tape used for treating sports injuries. Do not confuse it with the regular athletic tape that restricts blood flow and movement. Kinesio tape allows for a full range of motion.

You’ll need a physiotherapist to teach you how to put it on; or you can watch videos online.

 

Kinesio tape is said to provide support and relief for general muscular pain or tightness, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, shin splits, tennis elbow, Achilles tendon and shoulder issues.

 

Available at all Toby’s Sports stores in precut versions (P925) or for all-condition sports, including swimming (P750).
