Strapping is the application of a tape to an area of the body, the type of tape used depends greatly on the type of injury or intent. Rigid tape (leukotape) is commonly used on injured areas to restrict movement of the joints and for soft tissue compression. A flexible tape (Kinesiotape) is commonly used for light support and injury prevention. Another more flexible tape (dynamic tape) is used for improved performance.
Benefits:
