Kinesio tape can be used by runners to help to prevent and treat many common running injuries such as plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, hamstring strains, shin splints and runner’s knee. The thick. elasticated tape moves with your body acting like a second skin helping with structural alignment, pain relief and muscle activation.
It is common place nowadays to see athletes in a variety of settings with coloured tape applied to their body in some place or another.
Whilst it is possible to apply kinesio tape yourself following demonstration videos, it is always recommended to seek professional advice.
