Kinesiology tape is based on kinesiology, the science of anatomy, physiology and body mechanics. It is based on the idea that the body can heal itself, if enabled with appropriate support. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, Kinesiology Tape alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. The use of Kinsesio tape involves taping over muscles to minimize pain and inflammation, relax tired muscles that are suffering from overuse and to support muscle movement. The taping is non-restrictive and allows a full range of motion, critical for athletes who are recovering from injury or seeking to avoid it.
Improve contraction of a weakened muscle
Reduce muscle fatigue and spasm
Reduce over-stretching and over-contraction of muscles
Re-educate muscles through sensory feedback
Lessen edema (swelling) through aiding the lymphatic system
Minimize post-traumatic or post-surgical bruising through improved circulation
Help mobilize scar tissue by enhancing glide between tissue layers
Help correct joint mechanics through aiding muscle function around the joint
Relieve pain by activating the natural analgesic system in our skin receptors
