Muscle Strain Aid

[issues]

Hi, i am interested to know if perhaps putting tape right around the hamstrings and quadriceps helps people who have slightly strained either of the two, while continuing to play the sport.
thanks

Yip it can, but you have to make sure that it done right or it could cause problems. Alot of athletes will strap including myself if they have little injuries that they are treating themselves even a physio will strap little injuries. Other things have to be through of as well, e.g will you have a reaction to the tape? Also make sure that you don't go over the knee because you don't want to stop movement there. If you are unsure of how to strap go to someone who knows how to do it safely and it is not going to do more harm than good. Hope this helps.

thanks netballer ... just to be clear though, im not thinking of strapping joints, im more interested in the strapping the muscles eg. quads. im not sure if thats what u were refering to, cause i noe netballers would usualy be more interested in strapping ankles and joints.
