Kinesio Taping
Kinesio tape is an elastic tape applied to the skin to produce an increase of blood flow through the muscle.
Kinesio tape can increase the range of movement by a joint, whilst decreasing the pain felt by lifting the fascia. Kinesiology tape is a thin, stretchy, elastic cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive.
Therapeutic kinesiology tape can benefit a wide variety of musculoskeletal and sports injuries, plus inflammatory conditions.
Kinesiology tape is almost identical to human skin in both thickness and elasticity, which allows Kinesio tape to be worn without binding, constricting or restriction of your movement.
