WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY TAPE?

WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY TAPE?

The Basics

Introduction To
Kinesiology Tape

Kinesiology tape was originally invented by a Japanese chiropractor who wanted to create an effective alternative to traditional athletic tapes that limited the body's full range of motion. Today it is used by medical and chiropractic experts all over the world — in both athletics and health environments — to support recovery, manage pain, and improve performance.


The Origin

Invented To Free
The Body

Traditional rigid athletic tape works by immobilising the joint — but this comes at a cost. It restricts blood flow, limits movement, and can actually slow the healing process. Kinesiology tape was designed to do the opposite: provide support while preserving full range of motion.

Applied strategically to key pain points on the body, the tape lifts the skin microscopically, decompressing the tissue layers beneath and allowing the body's natural healing mechanisms to work more efficiently.

Elite Performance

Trusted By
The World's Best

With the ability to reduce swelling, ease pains and sprains, and aid stiff muscles, kinesiology tape is widely used by top athletes to improve their performance. You may have seen them covered in strips of colourful tape during volleyball matches, cycling races, or Olympic events.

As well as helping athletes perform at their peak, kinesiology tape is equally effective for everyday health conditions — including back pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel, and lumbago.

Why It Works

Three Core Benefits

It is currently used by medical and chiropractic experts all over the world due to its ability to provide support for sprains, aches, pains, and sore muscles, and its effectiveness at assisting the body's recovery process.

Pain Relief

By lifting the skin, tape decompresses the pain receptors beneath the dermis — providing immediate, drug-free relief from acute and chronic pain.

Reduced Swelling

The lifting effect creates space in the subcutaneous layers, allowing lymphatic fluid to drain more efficiently and rapidly reducing inflammation and bruising.

Full Range of Motion

Unlike rigid athletic tape, kinesiology tape stretches up to 180% — supporting fatigued muscles and unstable joints without restricting movement.
