Who Can Make Gains with TheraBand Kinesiology Tape?
Whether you're trying to set a new PB at the squat rack or beat your 5k time, recurring pain can make it difficult to push yourself. TheraBand Kinesiology tape can offer specialised relief to whichever muscles and joints are feeling fatigued or sore.
Kinesiology Tape is designed to stimulate blood flow to speed up healing, while also acting as a specialised brace to reduce the impact of exercise.
What Does Kinesiology Tape Do?
Kinesiology tape is an elastic sports tape that can be used before, during and after workouts. When stretched and applied to the skin, it is designed to help prevent and alleviate pain, as well as boost blood flow to improve pain perception and reduce swelling.
The synthetic fibre and elastic core design also makes it a reliable support device that eases pressure on your muscles, soft tissue, ligaments and tendons when working out at high intensity.
