Have you ever noticed thick strips of tape pressed across someone’s shoulder or running down their leg and wondered what it is for? Once reserved for elite athletes, muscle tape, also known as kinesiology tape, has made its way into the mainstream - becoming a staple for gym-goers and anyone looking to soothe sore muscles or stabilise joints.
But does it live up to the hype? As a pro-level athlete, I train at Zone Gym in North London, and I’ve seen first-hand how this seemingly simple tool works wonders.
