Sport tapes can be used for support and aid in recovery of an injury. Support and protect during an activity so an injury doesn't occur. kinesiology tape and zinc oxide tape can help protect against injury and aid in recovery. Sport tapes are used in professional sports but can also be for anyone who needs some support and relief for their joints and muscles.
Kinesiology tape is a stretchy tape that is moisture resistant. Used for nursing an injury or a small niggle. Provides gentle support . Can be used whilst exercising or during a sporting activity as it stretches and moves with the body. It slightly lifts the skin and improves blood flow to the area while adding support to the area.
Zinc oxide tape is used to support joints usually to relieve pain or support and protect against an old injury or weak joint. It comes in two types. White, which is a little thinner and used to support various parts of the body such as wrist, fingers and ankles. Tan, which is a little thicker and is ideally used to support shoulder injuries but can also be used to support ankles, knees, wrists etc. Both are adaptable to use all over the body to help you get back to normal as quick as possible without risk of further injury.
There are some other tapes that can be used alone or in combination with other tapes to add extra support such as foam underwrap, or EAB tape. Foam underwrap is a thin soft foam that helps with support and gives a nice soft barrier to the tape or bandage being placed over the top of it. EAB is made from woven cotton spandex. It feels like stretchy bandage but it is strong and has an adhesive side to stick it down. It can be used for moderate support and protection.
