Kinesio tapes

Kinesio tape is a special elastic tape commonly used in sports medicine and physical therapy. It is made of cotton, on newer tapes rayon or similar fabric, and is intended for use on the skin. Kinesio tape is commonly used to support muscles, joints, and tissues, reduce pain, reduce swelling, improve circulation, and improve athletic performance. The taping process involves using a special technique to apply the tape to the skin, where it acts in a specific way on the skin, muscles and lymphatic system. The popularity of using kinesio tape has increased significantly in recent years, especially in sports medicine, physiotherapy and health sports.

Kinesio tape works by lifting the skin slightly away from the muscles and fascia through elasticity, which helps increase circulation, reduce inflammation and support the affected area. This can help relieve pain, reduce swelling, and improve overall mobility and range of motion.
