Preparing for the Beating of a Race

The first time my chiropractor applied kinesiology tape to reconstruct me after a particularly vicious bout of a Hero WOD, the taping industry was still more focused on running and biking than CrossFit. If you are a runner or cyclist it is relatively easy to figure out which muscles need support and protection. With CrossFit it is much harder – does Murph or Angie need leg, calf, shoulder, back support? All of it… Compound movements will require several joints and muscles protected and healed….

Cool to know that Rocktape (no affiliation) now has dedicated instructions for Crossfitters with specific recommendation of injury prevention and training support. I certainly starting taping up for my last training runs….
