What Is Kinesiology Tape?

Types of Kinesiology TapeKinesiology tape is a thin, stretchy therapeutic tape that can relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, provide structural support to joints and muscles, and enhance athletic performance. While best known as a sports tape for injured athletes, it is also used extensively in medical settings to treat a wide variety of inflammatory conditions or to speed recovery after surgery.

Unlike most athletic tape or medical tape that is non-elastic and restrictive, kinesiology tape is light, thin and flexible. With the same thickness and elasticity as human skin, it is comfortable and easy to wear. Kinesiology tape can be worn from 3-7 days, making kinesiology taping one of the most convenient and economical therapeutic modalities available today.

Kinesiology tape comes in rolls, precut strips or precut applications for specific parts of the body. Regardless of your knowledge of kinesiology taping techniques, there is a format that will work for you!  The benefits of kinesiology taping include:

  • Relief of both acute and chronic pain
  • Reduction of inflammation, swelling, edema
  • Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
  • Reduced fatigue in overused muscles
  • Prevention/relief of cramps or spasms
  • Supports without restricting range of motion
  • Prolongs and enhances the benefit of other therapeutic modalities
  • Prevents overstretching or overcontraction of injured muscles
  • Restores strength to weak or injured muscles
  • Improves mobility/flexibility in injured areas
  • Enhances muscle tone in weak/poorly toned muscles
  • Provides therapeutic benefits 24/7 the entire time it’s worn
