Kinesiology tape is an elastic strip made of cotton fabric with synthetic fibers and hypoallergenic adhesive, mimicking the properties of skin. It is used to support muscles and joints without restricting mobility, to prevent injuries, reduce pain, and improve blood flow.
Kinesiology taping is widely used by athletes and in rehabilitation: it helps recover from injuries and reduces swelling by improving lymphatic drainage. When stretched, the tape slightly lifts the skin, reducing pressure on pain receptors and activating natural pain relief mechanisms.
It can be worn for several days in a row, as the material does not irritate the skin and allows it to breathe. The technique is used for sprains, bruises, chronic joint diseases, and for correcting movements, reducing the risk of re-injury.
To achieve maximum effect, proper skin preparation and taping skills are important. This method has become an indispensable tool in sports medicine and physiotherapy, supporting an active lifestyle and promoting effective rehabilitation.
