Christina’s advice on thigh and hip taping

For most thigh and hip complaints, I recommend CureTape Sports. The muscles around your hips and thighs work hard during walking, running and sports. Its 25% stronger adhesion helps the tape stay in place, even during intense exercise and perspiration. Combine taping with hip mobility and strengthening exercises. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult a physiotherapist or your GP.
