Product Reviews

If you are a regular tennis player then you will either have an injury, have had an injury or know someone who is struggling with an injury.


Now we all know someone who is always injured, because God knows you could never beat them if they weren't, but for the genuine injuries out there the 2 posts below cover 2 products that have changed how injuries can affect you.


Physicool is a product that will reduce swelling quicker and more effectively than ice could ever do.  It has being endorsed by professional athletes, physios and even surgeons and continues working even when the reuseable strapping has being removed.  
To find out more about this article read the post below.


KT Tape is unlike any strapping you may have used in the past.  It is not a support in the common sense of the word.  It works by applying it along muscles, ligaments, and tendons (soft tissue) to provide a lightweight, strong, external support that helps to prevent injury and speed recovery. KT Tape works differently for different injuries. KT Tape can lift and support the knee cap, holding it in place for Runner’s Knee. KT Tape can support sagging muscles along the arch of the foot, relieving the connective tissues for Plantar’s Fasciitis. And KT Tape can lift the stress off of shin splints to allow pain release and give the body a better opportunity to recover. Depending on how it is applied, KT Tape supports, enables, or restricts soft tissue and its movement. By stretching and recoiling like a rubber band, KT Tape augments tissue function and distributes loads away from inflamed or damaged muscles and tendons, thereby protecting tissues from further injury.
By applying KT Tape over affected tissue, athletes experience an external support which helps to prevent further injury and allows the body’s damaged tissue to rest and heal naturally despite continued activity. KT Tape also reduces inflammation and increases circulation which prevents muscle cramping and lactic acid buildup.
