KT Tape > Why It Works!

KT Tape (Kinesiology Therapeutic Tape) is the tape used in therapy to relax overused muscles and in rehabilitation to facilitate underused muscles. The wave pattern found on the tape’s adhesive has a lifting effect on the skin which can reduce swelling and inflammation by improving circulation and reduce pain by taking pressure off pain receptors.

Kinesio Taping is a therapeutic taping technique that works with the body allowing full range of motion (ROM). This technique will not adversely affect the bio mechanics of the patient.

Because Kinesiology tape is latex free it’s hypoallergenic and safe to use from pediatric to geriatric populations.

No compression to the skin makes it “light to the feel” allowing comfortable wear over a 3 to 5 day period. The water resistant fabric wicks away moisture and gives the wearer the ability to bathe as normal. Kinesiology Taping works with the lymphatic system to increase circulation of blood and lymph in order to rehabilitate and relieve pain. Used for virtually all clinical conditions.

Found in many sporting goods stores, various methods and video demonstration of Taping can be found on the manufacturer’s website.
