Recover Like A Pro: Sports Strapping Tapes Vs Zinc Oxide

When athletes suffer a strain, sprain, or injury, it is important that they have the best solutions available to ensure fast and effective recovery. Find out how our Physiologix range of zinc oxide and sports strapping can help you recover like a pro.

Benefits of Using Zinc Oxide Tape & Sports Strapping Tape

Zinc oxide and sports strapping tapes offer athletes varying degrees of compression and stability. These qualities are essential for tapes to be an effective and viable solution for athletes.
Our Physiologix range of sports strapping and zinc oxide tapes represent the highest quality of tapes on the market. They are a versatile and effective support that aid recovery, promote pain relief, and prevent injury.

Pain Relief & Recovery
Sports tapes and zinc oxide tapes help reduce pain and encourage fast recovery. The compression that the tapes provide increases blood flow to the affected area. This reduces swelling which subsequently eases pain.

Prevent Injury
Athletes are using sports and zinc oxide tapes to prevent injury. Over-worked muscles are at risk of straining or tearing. Using sports and zinc oxide tapes can significantly reduce the risks of injury as they keep muscles in a stable position.

Difference between Sports Strapping & Zinc Oxide Tapes

Physiologix zinc oxide tape is rigid and restrictive. The rigidity of zinc oxide tape keeps weak joints in place and offers firm support.
Our Physiologix sports tape range are more elasticated. These tapes offer more flexible, which encourages a good range of motion while offering a medium level of compression and support.
