Who Can Make Gains with TheraBand Kinesiology Tape?

Whether you're trying to set a new PB at the squat rack or beat your 5k time, recurring pain can make it difficult to push yourself. TheraBand Kinesiology tape can offer specialised relief to whichever muscles and joints are feeling fatigued or sore.

What Does Kinesiology Tape Do?
