Applications of Flexible Strapping Tape in Sports
Flexible strapping tape is designed to offer support and stability without restricting movement, making it an essential item in any athlete’s kit. Here are some common sports where flexible strapping tape is used:
- Basketball: To provide ankle support and prevent sprains.
- Soccer: For supporting knees and ankles during quick movements.
- Tennis: To stabilise wrists, elbows and shoulders and prevent overuse injuries.
- Rugby: For added protection and support to shoulders, knees, and ankles.
- Running: To prevent shin splints and provide arch support.
Preventing and Managing Injuries with Flexible Strapping Tape
Injuries are an unfortunate part of sports, but with the right precautions, many can be prevented or managed effectively. Flexible strapping tape is particularly useful for:
- Sprains and Strains: Providing support to ligaments and muscles, reducing the risk of sprains and strains.
- Joint Stability: Offering stability to joints, especially ankles, knees, and wrists, helping prevent dislocations.
- Overuse Injuries: Reducing the strain on overworked muscles and tendons, particularly in sports involving repetitive motions.
- Post-Injury Support: Assisting in the recovery process by stabilising injured areas and preventing further damage.
How to Use Flexible Strapping Tape
Using flexible strapping tape correctly is crucial for maximising its benefits. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Clean the Area: Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application to enhance adhesion.
- Pre-Tape Preparation: Use an underwrap if needed to protect the skin and provide a comfortable base layer.
- Apply the Tape: Start by securing one end of the tape to the skin. Apply the tape with even tension, following the muscle or joint line that needs support.
- Overlapping Layers: Overlap each layer by half the width of the tape to provide consistent support.
- Secure the End: Ensure the tape is securely fastened without cutting off circulation. Adjust the tension as needed to balance support and flexibility.
