Athletic Tape

Athletic tape

Help protect against injury or strains with athletic tape. Applying a first aid athletic tape to vulnerable areas of your body can help you withstand the physical exertion that sports and workouts demand. Use a sports tape to wrap ankles, fingers, elbows and knees for protection while you're active or even as daily support while you heal. Johnson & Johnson, Nexcare and Mueller offer athletic tapes and wraps here at Walgreens.com

Use as directed

Consult a healthcare professional or trainer to make sure you are applying the athletic wrap properly. In addition to wrapping certain areas of your body, you can use athletic tape to secure hot or cold packs. There are also tapes that can be used on athletic equipment like baseball bats or hockey sticks. Athletic wraps are sometimes used under tapes to protect the skin from the adhesive.

Athletic braces and supports

In addition to athletic tape & wraps, we also carry braces and supports for different areas of your body to help protect or heal. There are knee braces, ankle stabilizers, thigh support braces and patella straps available for adults, and some braces are just for kids. You'll also find injury or strain treatments such as heat therapy products, ice packs and pain relievers.
