Mystery Tape Keeps Popping Up On Playing Fields
Taping Up The 2015 Football Season
It’s no secret that athletes, especially football players, are prone to injury on the field. But sometimes, both on the field and in life, people need to play with injuries and still perform their best. A secret weapon of team athletic trainers for keeping their athletes in the game is a sticky, flexible, easy-to-use tool called TheraBand® Kinesiology Tape from leading health and wellness company, Performance Health®.
One reason professionals, practitioners, and consumers like to use TheraBand Kinesiology Tape is the fact that it sticks so well, which is key to performance. Kinesiology tape that doesn’t stay on, doesn’t provide benefits. TheraBand Kinesiology Tape leverages the best-in-class adhesion of well-known Performance Health brand family member Cramer, a sports medicine leader and maker of athletic tapes. The tape recently outperformed leading competitors in clinical research.
If stick is critical, stretch is the core of kinesiology tape and the breakthrough feature of TheraBand Kinesiology Tape is the exclusive XactStretch™ technology—visible application guides which are literally on the tape’s surface. This enables both professionals and beginners to easily stretch the tape the right amount every time, as specified by professional instructions.
With fashionable and functional geometric patterns in bold, bright colors, TheraBand Kinesiology Tape makes applying the tape correctly with precise stretch amounts easy for weekend warriors, arm-chair quarterbacks, and anyone who needs joint and muscle support and pain relief while remaining flexible so they can lead their team well. The product is available in other highly visible colors including red and black, neon green, blue and pink, as well as more subtle colors like black and tan. For those looking to make a statement, TheraBand Kinesiology Tape uniquely combines style and function, allowing users to make a fashion statement, while remaining active through injury.
Though football season has officially wrapped, TheraBand Kinesiology Tape continues to be a trusted tool for all types of athletes in injury prevention and rehabilitation. For more information regarding TheraBand Kinesiology Tape, please visit:http://www.therabandktape.com.
“TheraBand Kinesiology Tape is one of many products we’ve developed to help great players go the extra yard when it counts, to make sure they don’t miss the special moments and big games,” said Ethan Pochman, VP of Global Marketing at Performance Health.
From the makers of trusted fitness and rehabilitation products like Biofreeze® Pain Reliever, TheraBand Resistance Bands, Cramer® Athletic Tape and more, TheraBand Kinesiology Tape is available at Dick’s Sporting Goods nationwide.
