Hatboro, PA -- (SBWire) -- 08/24/2016 --With the NFL preseason coming to a conclusion, professional football teams are quickly narrowing their rosters down to the 53 men. For those who make the team, it is a great accomplishment. For those who do not make the cut, it is back to the drawing board. While making the roster does not guarantee long-term job security, it quickly raises a player's stock across the league. With so many talented athletes to choose from, sometimes injury risk becomes the deciding factor whether somebody gets a contract. Injury prone players are considered high-risk, and many general managers are risk averse when it comes to keeping a backup player. Over the last couple years, kinesiology tape has been a common tool among football coaches of all levels to help their players with injury recovery and prevention.
From recreational high school players to top-level professional athletes, physical therapy tape has been embraced in the locker room. With so many different types of injuries, modern team doctors and general managers are looking for any advantage to getting their investment [player] back on the field to contribute. Physical therapists and chiropractors both have found ways to strategically place therapeutic kinesiology tape on their patients to treat soft tissue pain and to give athletes joint stability and increased confidence. One of the nation's leading brands of this tape, PerformTex™, has been growing year after year due to their products reputation of being the most durable, moisture-wicking tape on the market.
"Twenty years ago, therapeutic tape seemed crazy to some people. Since then, it's been adopted by numerous medical practices who have read up on the science behind it. It works. From high school quarterbacks to college linebackers and beyond, virtually any soft tissue football injury can benefit from proper therapeutic taping. Back in the day, physicians just wanted to know what is was, and now they are asking us where they can go to buy kinesiology tape." -Jacob Hope, Team Member at PerformTex™ Products.
