How does Kinesiology Tape work?

Kinesiology tape, also known as muscle tape, is a stretchy, elastic adhesive tape that is applied to the skin to provide therapeutic benefits. It works by influencing the body's sensory - motor system and soft tissue mechanics.

When applied, the tape lifts the skin slightly, creating a micro - space between the skin and underlying tissues. This reduces pressure on pain receptors and promotes better blood and lymphatic circulation. The tape's stretch also provides proprioceptive input, which helps the body better sense the position and movement of the taped area. This can enhance muscle function, correct abnormal movement patterns, and improve overall

 Joint stability.
