New-HALE extends as ATM's preferred kinesio tape!

It is a pleasure to announce the renewed cooperation between Asia Trail Master and the popular Japanese kinesio taping brand New-HALE. At Asia Trail Master promoted events, we see increasingly more runners using colourful tape to protect themselves from potential injuries. New-HALE, established by Mr Koji Akuta, is one of the pioneers in the technology, and will please participants in our series with its great products and service.

For those people not yet so familiar with kinesio taping, this is a rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion. It is a therapeutic technique not only offering you the support you are looking for, but also rehabilitating any affected condition as well.

New-HALE has a wide range of items in its catalogue, but in ATM the focus is on the V Tape and the X Tape. Both these are easily available in Asia outside Japan thanks to famous retail stores such as Red Dot Running Company in Singapore and Gone Running in Hong Kong.

V Tape

This innovative pre-cut V-shaped tape is super flexible to applied on the calf, knee, shoulders or waist to provide targeted support. It is loved by professional athletes around the world and also used in many medical treatments. The tape is made of smooth LYCRA blend cotton fabric, which offers great resilience and joint support, such as elbow or knee, perfect for athletic taping.

X Tape

Ankle taping for professional top runners of trail running and ultramarathon. It stops not just sprain but also prevents overpronation to sustain resilience of runner's ankle, transferring propulsion force into higher performance. It sustains the angle of 90 degrees of ankle and foot to reduce stress and burdens on foot. Simple "X-type taping" makes it easier for ankle support. Support by the elastic material LYCRA. Tape of lower elasticity provides both fit and fixed power. Acrylic rubber 100% prevents losing power. Sweat and water-resistant taping surface with high quality glue substance prevents it from peeling off. Ankle Fixed-Up To Step Up Performance Of All Sports!
