Introduction
Zinc oxide tape is a rigid, adhesive tape used to
strap joints such as the ankle, knee, shoulder,
or wrist in order to prevent sporting injuries.
As well as aiding in the prevention of injuries,
it can also be used on areas which have
previously been injured as a way of supporting
the muscles around a joint.

Why would I use Zinc Oxide Tape?
It conforms to the area to which it is applied
making it far less bulky and lighter weight than
a brace, which is why it is so popular with
sports people and physiotherapists. Tape also
allows for different methods to be used to offer
targeted support to specific ligaments or tendons
within a joint. This means that the joint can
have a certain range of movement allowing faster
recovery from injury, and the ability to continue
activity.
