How Product Works
The Kinesio Taping method utilizes Kinesio Tape to lend support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion.
Athletes, both novice & professional, often use Kinesio Tape in conjunction with conventional sports taping, such as wrapping and compression, to treat the joint, while protecting it. Muscles can be supported before and after exercise, offerings patients a more gentle approach to rehabilitation. Application is easy to use, but should be properly done by a trained professional.
Proper form of therapeutic rehabilitative elastic taping is extremely important. The tape should be applied along the length of a tired muscle for support. Depending on the injury Kinesio Tape is placed in a range of patterns and pulled in varying degrees of tension. Unlike standard white athletic tape, the adhesive on Kinesio Tape has a lifting effect on the skin, which allows for flexibility. The tape should remain on the injured or affected area for a recommended 2-5 days.
