Kinesiology Tape is a thin and stretchy tape that can be helpful in a variety of muskuloskeletal sports injuries as well as inflammatory conditions.
How is Kinesio Tape different to other taping techniques e.g. Low Dye Taping?
Most sports tapes are non elastic and are wrapped tightly around joints to limit movement. They are worn for short periods of time and then removed to allow movement to return. Alternatively Kinesiology Tape has unique elastic properties that allow support and protection of muscle and joints while still allowing movement and circulation.
Kinesiology Tape can be applied directly to or around areas of injury and can be worn for 4 or 5 days.
