It is now ubiquitous kit for any runner serious about their game – strips of coloured adhesive tape that adorn arms, legs, backs and even necks. If you didn't already know, it's called kinesiology tape, or K-tape. Viewers tuning in to last week's London Marathon would have seen countless competitors who looked as if they'd been daubed in DayGlo paint.
IT WORKS… BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHY
As an osteopath who treats people with all kinds of running-related injuries, I'm often asked for advice on how to correctly use K-tape. The super-thin flexible material is used to aid muscle recovery and increase a range of motion in joints. The tension created by the fabric retracting over the skin is supposed to boost circulation, leading to these benefits. Although it has actually been around since the 1970s (it was used to treat arthritis pain), studies have failed to show whether relief reported by sportsmen is simply a placebo effect.
As a keen runner myself, I have used it for a calf strain. The skin tension felt beneficial and most likely took my mind of the injury itself. With this in mind, I've compiled a guide to taping four of the most common running-related injuries that I see.
