What is rigid sports tape?
Rigid sports tape, also known as athletic tape or strapping tape, is a strong, non-elastic tape used to limit unwanted movement and provide additional support during physical activity. Unlike kinesiology tape, rigid tape does not stretch. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where firm fixation and stability are required.
Rigid athletic tape is commonly applied around areas such as the ankles, wrists, fingers and thumbs. It can be used during strength training, climbing, martial arts, team sports and other demanding activities.

Yes. The zigzag edge allows the cotton tape to be torn easily by hand. This means you can quickly create strips of the required length without using scissors.
Apply the tape to clean, dry and intact skin. Make sure the skin is free from creams, oils, perspiration and dirt, as these can reduce adhesion. Apply the tape using an appropriate taping technique and avoid wrapping it too tightly.
Remove the tape slowly and carefully in the direction of hair growth. Support the skin with one hand while gently rolling the tape away with the other. A suitable tape remover spray can be used to make removal more comfortable and help remove remaining adhesive. An optional choice is to use a remover spray.
Rigid sports tape can be used as part of a supportive taping application, but it does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Consult a qualified healthcare professional when you have persistent pain, swelling, reduced mobility or a suspected injury. Do not apply the tape to open, damaged or irritated skin.
