Football Kinesiology Tape Kinesiology tape has taken the football world by storm this season. In fact K-Active currently supplies some of the biggest clubs in the world; Chelsea FC, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. In the Premiership we regularly see players wearing kinesio tape, including; Gareth Bale and Ashley Cole... but why?
Kinesiology tape is perfect for footballers, due to its simplicity it has a multitude of uses including; pain relief, swelling and inflammation reduction, provide structural support to joints and muscles, and enhance athletic performance. Footballing advocates of kinesio tape include David Beckham, Ashley Cole and more recently Gareth Bale. However it is now becoming a common sight on players throughout the country.
Isn't it just for the professionals? As with most products, the early adopters are the professionals. This is because they are partial to all the latest and best treatments. However, kinesio tape is suitable for footballers at all levels. It can be applied easily without any associated risks and is an inexpensive form of treatment. In fact, we believe that kinesio tape will soon become an essential piece of kit for every footballer, much like compression clothing.
