What is Kinesiology Tape and Why Do We Love it?
Invented by a Japanese chiropractor Kinesiology Tape was used as an alternative to other traditional treatment methods, that although provided support, restricted the movement of the body. He believed that the body would heal faster if it could move naturally and yet be supported.
By sticking the tape to the area in patterns tried and tested he proved just how powerful it was and how much it can improve injuries and other pain issues in a non-invasive way.
When applied correctly, the tape can prevent muscles from sending pain signals to the brain and greatly help the flow of circulation and lymphatic fluid. Made of a lightweight, thin, and ultra-stretchy blend of synthetic or cotton, its formulation and elastic versatility enables it to bind tightly to the body without being restrictive.
Kinesiology sports tape acts as a second skin giving you support, whilst the spandex gives flexibility allowing you to move freely. This makes our tape an ideal alternative to a bandage or brace. Applying Kinesiology Sports tape “unstretched” to muscles or joints can help reduce swelling and pain.
Applying the tape “stretched” to muscles can increase stability, assist muscle contraction and improve joint mo0on. Our glue is medical grade and is u in a wave pattern, making it perfect and enabling your skin to sweat and breath.
Heal like an Athlete
With the ability to reduce swelling, ease pains and sprains, and aid stiff muscles, athletes use it to improve their performance.
You may have seen them covered in strips of colourful tape if you’ve ever watched a volleyball match or cycling race.
As well as helping athletes, Kinesiology Tape can also be used to improve a variety of health conditions, including back pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel, and lumbago.
It’s currently used by medical and chiropractic experts, in both athletics and health environments, due to its ability to support sprains, aches, pains, and sore muscles.
The tape is also effective at assisting the body’s recovery process.
