what type of tape is the white one? just plain tape or does it have something inside?

@Nurseveronica26

just plain white tape, "coach" by Johnson and Johnson

what's the pre-bandage name ? the purple one that you use , what kind of tape was that

[liverdaddy]

@oigame123 It is called prewrap. You can purchase this in most sporting goods stores

@liverdaddy is it possible to have an achilles tendon tape job then an ankle tape job for sports

[liverdaddy]

@OhioStBuckboy , yeah, i usually do the achilles first, the angles of the heel locks are a bit tougher because you have the ankle at a 45 degree angle instead of 90. I might move the ankle up a bit so the achilles tape job still does what you want it to do. I had an athlete I did this with this year and it worked fine. Good Luck!

I tried to do this but I think i kinda messed up somehow. Is the placement on the leg crucial? I think I might have started too high up, because I felt a lot of pull on the leg muscle attached to the back of the knee. I had to take it of so as not to mess up yet another part of my leg :P
