Do you need pre-race or pre-match taping of your back, knees or shoulders?

Our Physios are experts at using Kinesiology (K) tape to enhance performance and minimise pain during a race or match.

K taping is the use of elastic fabric tape to improve the performance of muscles and add a sense of stability to painful joints. K is short for “kinesiology” which describes the study of human movement. In that sense, the elastic properties of K tape allow joint movement whilst adding the sense of stability to the joint. It is really an exercise in branding, but the elastic nature of K tape contrasts with other types of non-elastic taping that restrict movement.

Our Physios are experts in using K tape as part of their treatment approach to stabilise joints and improve muscle function. As well as improving performance in athletes, K tape is effective in everyday injuries, so you can discuss the benefits of taping with your Physio.
