What is Sports Taping and Strapping?
Sports taping and strapping involves applying adhesive or elastic tape to support joints, muscles, and ligaments. This can:

We use a range of techniques, from rigid strapping tape for stability to dynamic kinesiology taping for muscle facilitation and proprioceptive feedback.
