Footballers - Rugby players tape?

[anonymous-user]

Hi, after a little help please. . . the coloured tape that footballers/rugby players use, has anyone used it with success and could it be used on ankles to give support? Thanks in advance

If you are looking for proper support you’ll need something like this...

I just had a figure of eight following a nasty break.

Light stretchy breatheable tape was my preference.

I’d suggest you consult a sports physio to see what level of support you might need.

Good luck

K-tape

Kinesiology tape - spend many an evening taping various bits of my wife back together with it (don't ask!).

Rock Tape

Make sure you shave the area you are applying to first!

Some say it only has a placebo effect, but my physio has been using Rocktape for years, and I believe it works, as do many others in my running club.
