Kinesio Tape Athletic Kinesitherapy Tape
The athletic tape that athletes and trainers have used for decades is made of rigid cotton and can help immobilize or stabilize a body part.
Kinesio Tape, however, has elastic polymer threads woven through the cotton, so the tape is flexible and does not hinder movement when applied.
Despite its flexibility, Kinesio Tape stabilizes muscles and gives the athlete awareness of muscle engagement, known as proprioception.
Furthermore, some claim that it slightly lifts the skin from the muscle, which should help reduce swelling and promote blood flow to the muscle.
Kinesio Tape manufacturers and healthcare professionals offer suggestions for preventing or treating injuries such as:
IT band injuries
shin splints
Hamstring injuries
Achilles tendinitis
Plantar fasciitis
Rotator cuff
Tennis elbow
It is a practical, thin strip, water-resistant and tear-resistant: its particular S-shaped wave pattern in the fabric gives it 50-60% elasticity.
The acrylic adhesive allows for flexible and adaptable application.
It alleviates pain and promotes recovery. During training, it provides benefits against stress and muscle overload effects.
Function
Through various application techniques, it can be used to combat different symptoms:
- Joint pain
- Restricted movement
- Osteoarthritis
- Sports injuries
- Back pain
- Sciatica
- Lymphedema (fluid accumulation in interstitial spaces)
- Epicondylitis (tendon or muscle pain like tennis elbow)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Joint problems (sprains, ligament strain)
Application, comfort, and durability
Application by qualified therapists is recommended.
Physical activities are not limited by the tape but rather assisted; it is possible to shower, swim, train, and play any sport.
Skin perspiration is also guaranteed by the materials the tape is made of.
The adhesive fabric ensures adherence for about a week, but the main effects will only be evident during the first 3-5 days.
Allergic reactions have rarely been observed, most often caused by the simultaneous application of other dressings or excessive alcohol and nicotine consumption.
