Shop Strapping Tape online
Strapping tape is an essential item for athletes, physiotherapists, and anyone looking to support their joints or muscles during physical activity. We offer a range of strapping tape options from Elastoplast and Rocktape in various colours and sizes to suit different needs and preferences.
What is the purpose of using strapping tape?
Strapping tape is typically used to provide support to joints and muscles during physical activity. It may help to stabilise an area and potentially reduce the risk of further injury.
However, strapping tape is not a substitute for proper medical treatment or advice from a healthcare professional.
While strapping tape can be a useful tool for support and stability, it's always important to use it as part of a comprehensive approach to health and wellbeing, which may include proper warm-up, exercise technique, and professional medical advice when needed.
What's the difference between strapping and taping?
The terms are used interchangeably, which is where the confusion starts.
Strapping generally refers to the use of rigid, non-elastic tape to provide firm support to a joint or muscle.
Taping, on the other hand, can include the use of both rigid and elastic tapes, depending on the specific application and desired outcome.
Can you leave strapping tape on overnight?
This depends on individual circumstances and the advice of your healthcare professional. Some people may wear it overnight, while others may remove it after they’ve finished the activity they needed the tape for.
It's important to monitor the skin for any signs of irritation and to follow the instructions provided with the specific strapping tape product you're using.
How do I choose the right strapping tape?
When choosing your strapping tape, you should consider what you need it for, how much support you need and any personal preferences, like colour or brand.
Elastoplast and Rocktape offer different options that may suit your needs, but if you’re not sure, speak to our friendly staff at Blooms The Chemist for guidance.
