Sports Taping
Sports taping is commonly used by physiotherapists to relieve pain, improve joint stability, enhance athlete confidence, reduce injury recurrence and prevent injury.
At Tameside Physio we use a combination of taping techniques to enable you to participate in your chosen sport or activity. We predominantly use RockTapeâ„¢ and Zinc Oxide tapes, which provide joint stability while allowing full range of motion during physical activity.
Your First Session
Our physiotherapist will demonstrate how best to apply tape for your individual needs, explaining the reasoning so you understand the application and can replicate it yourself when needed. We can also book you in pre-activity to apply taping for you — should it get a little fiddly!
