For any massage therapist, physio or fitness trainer – with or without a sports massage qualification – interested in learning about, and applying, Sports Tape.

What is Sports Tape?

An elastic tape that provides pain relief & support for hundreds of common injuries such as carpel tunnel, wrist pain, runners’ knee, neck strains, calf strains, shoulder pain and many more. It is lightweight, comfortable to wear and stays on for up to 7 days at a time – even in the shower or pool

Who can use it?

Although Sports Tape is the fastest growing therapeutic application used by athletes and dancers, it can be used by anybody – to treat a variety of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions in general.

How does Sports Tape work?

It provides targeted pain relief by relieving pressure & increasing circulation – promoting faster recover. It also provides stability and support for joints – like a flexible brace, without being bulky or limiting the body’s range of motion.
