How our partnership works:

Physique is the Official Physiotherapy Product Supplier and Tiger Tapes is the Official Taping and Strapping Supplier to the team.

We provide the medical team with the medical, physiotherapy and taping & strapping supplies they need to help look after the players.

Taking our partnership further:

As well as supplying the team with the physiotherapy and medical supplies they need, we’ve also collaborated on educational videos demonstrating taping techniques to educate the rugby community and beyond.

Chain of Survival

When it comes to CPR and resuscitation, Chain of Survival refers to the chain of events that maximise the chances of survival from sudden cardiac arrest.

This video by the medical team at Ospreys Rugby shows a demonstration of the chain of survival steps in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In this situation it is particularly useful when carrying out resuscitation on the field of play.

It is worth noting that this video is for guidance, it is advised that you only attempt CPR or resuscitation if you have had training and that you call the emergency services immediately if someone goes into cardiac arrest.
