What Is EAB Tape Used For?

Elastic Adhesive Bandage (EAB) tape is commonly used in sports medicine, physiotherapy and rehabilitation to provide support and compression around muscles and joints.

Unlike rigid sports tape, EAB tape stretches with movement, making it particularly useful where a combination of stability, flexibility and comfort is required.

Sports Strapping and Joint Support

Provides supportive compression around ankles, knees and wrists during training and competitive sport. It can help manage excessive movement when applied using an appropriate strapping technique.

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Used by physiotherapists and sports therapists as part of rehabilitation programmes where external joint support or compression is appropriate.

Compression and Support

Its elastic construction allows the tape to conform to body contours, making it suitable for supportive compression applications.

Team Sports and Athletic Training

Ideal for use in football, rugby, basketball, athletics, tennis and other activities where joint support and secure strapping may be required.

How to Apply Physioworx Club EAB Tape

Correct application is important to achieve effective support without restricting circulation or causing discomfort.

1. Prepare the skin: Ensure the application area is clean, dry and free from oils, creams and lotions.
2. Measure and cut: Cut the required length of tape according to the joint being supported and the chosen strapping technique.
3. Position the tape: Apply the initial section without excessive tension to establish a secure anchor.
4. Apply controlled tension: Follow the contours of the joint or muscle, using only the stretch needed for the intended support or compression.
5. Secure the ends: Smooth the tape into position, ensuring the ends are firmly adhered and the bandage sits comfortably.
6. Check comfort and circulation: Ensure movement is not excessively restricted and there is no numbness, tingling, discolouration or discomfort.

For injury management or rehabilitation, strapping should follow guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

How to Remove EAB Tape

Gently lift one end and slowly peel the tape back, keeping it close to the skin rather than pulling upwards.

Support the surrounding skin during removal to minimise discomfort. A suitable medical adhesive remover can be used if necessary.

Do not pull the tape away quickly, particularly on delicate or sensitive skin.
