Origins of Kinesiology Sports Tape
Kinesiology Tape was originally invented by a Japanese chiropractor, who wanted to create an effective alternative to traditional athletic tapes that limit the body's full range of motion.
The tape is applied strategically, to key pain points on the body, and when used in this way it offers a huge range of benefits, as it can be used to treat or improve a variety of painful conditions.
When applied correctly, the tape can prevent muscles from sending pain signals to the brain and can 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 contrac0on and improve joint mo0on. Our glue is medical grade and latex free, it is applied in a wave pattern making it porus enabling your skin to sweat and breath.
