What Does the Strapping Tape Do?
Strapping tape typically provides firm support to prevent unwanted joint movement, but can be used for other means too. The Strappal Tape is no different, with the zinc-oxide formula conforming to the shape of the affected area to support and protect the joints. The tape is also ideal to use as wrist or ankle strapping to prevent injury and to help in the recovery process.
Here's a comprehensive list of the Strappal Tape's uses:
- To physically hold muscles or joints in a certain position
- To support and reduce pain of the injured structures
- To protect an injured joint from re-injury
- As a compression to reduce swellings (e.g. from strains and sprains)
- To hold dressings in place
- To secure shin pads in place
- To act as or secure a splint
It's important to make sure you use the right strapping tape, as incorrect taping can lead to further injuries. Seek advice from a physiotherapist or sports medicine professional before applying athletic tape yourself.
