Rayon rigid strapping tapes are designed to provide strong support for joints during high-stress sport activity, minimising excessive joint activity that can lead to injury. They are also often used after a sports injury to aid in the recovery process.
Using strapping tape can be tricky and it's important to understand the proper application techniques to ensure the best results. A tape should be tight enough to provide maximum support, but not so much that it restricts movement in the affected area.
The best way to apply strapping tape is to apply it in layers, starting with a small amount at the beginning of the injured area and then gradually increasing the layer thickness. This is particularly true if the area you are taping is sensitive or has a high risk of skin irritation.
It is important to remember that strapping tape should not be worn for long periods of time, or it may exacerbate an existing injury. It's also wise to use an underwrap before applying the tape to ensure the skin can breathe and reduce the chance of any unwanted adhesive rubbing against the sensitive skin.
Rigid strapping tapes are available in 2.5cm, 3.8cm and 5cm widths. Order yours today and get fast and easy shipping to anywhere in Australia!
