Last week the Bullet Proof Bodies Team were at the ELEVATE Health & Fitness Conference.

This was the first time we were working with our friends at KT Tape and their amazing range of products for injury prevention, recovery and treatment.

ELEVATE was two days of packed interactive demonstrations and education for all things health and fitness.

It was great to catch  up with all those people we had not seen for 2-3 years because of the obvious.

We were not just taking TAPE, but all thing to do with the 3 pillars of Injury Prevention, Treatment & Recovery.

There are still some people who are sceptical about tape and what it does and does not do. The question we get asked most about KT TAPE is, “Does it work?”

I think the question should be reframed as, “What do you want the TAPE to do?” If the answer is “cure cancer” then I’m afraid the TAPE won’t do that! However, if you want to use the TAPE for specific reasons to do with:

Injury Prevention,

Performance Enhancement

and Recovery

Then now we can have a sensible conversation.

The first thing to do is establish what you want the taping to do.

This might be a taping to prevent ankle inversions when out trail running.

You might want taping to enhance your spinal proprioception when performing heavy Deadlifts.

In addition, you might want to start using tape as part of your recovery strategy post training for DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).

Yes, this one is something you have probably not thought of before, TAPE for recovery!

As you hobble down the stairs after a successful “LEG DAY” simply, apply some TAPE and  reduce soreness, increase blood flow and optimise Lymphatic drainage.

The Taping is easy to perform and you can go on the website for a quick 1 minute video on how best for tape for your requirement.

So there you have it. THREE strategies using taping to aid you in whatever physical activity you want to do!
