Tottenham star Bale sparks English physio revolution

Tottenham winger Gareth Bale has kicked English football's physios into action over his mystery black tape.

The People says the Spurs star has become a £50million target for the giants of Europe since he began using the £40-a-roll Kinesio tape, which helps to prevent muscle strains and combats tiredness.

Bale swears by it - and his amazing Champions League performances against Inter Milan have made the FA take notice.

Now 150 physios from grass-roots level all the way up to the national side will attend a Kinesio session at the end of the month.

David Beckham has tested it out on his back, while Tour de France legend Lance Armstrong describes it as "miracle".

Kinesio UK boss Kevin Anderson said: "It is a new way of treating injuries, but can aid people to play better too.

"Even if a player has a niggle or is tiring, they are able to continue at their optimum level because they don't feel the pain."
