What are Kinesiology Tapes?
In recent years at the latest, the colorful tapes on many top athletes or your physiotherapist have certainly caught your eye. Due to the many, mostly bright colors, they immediately catch the eye as a kind of bandage for most body regions. But in contrast to rigid sports tape, kinesiology tapes are very elastic and have a wavy adhesive layer.
The tapes are suitable for almost all parts of the body and are mainly used to support training.
How does Kinesiology Tape work?
Due to the material properties with 140 to 160 percent elasticity , the kinesiology tape is based on the elasticity of human skin . It is said to provide stability to your joints, muscles and ligaments and allow mobility in contrast to non-elastic tape.
Because the tape is applied in a taut state, it supports movement and reduces the force that must be applied to muscles, joints and ligaments . For example, imagine the application on the shoulder. If our arms hang straight down, then the skin is tightest. In this state, the tape is applied. If you now raise your arms, the skin (and also the kinesiology tape) will contract. By contracting the tape, the force to be applied is reduced.
* The effect of kinesiology tape has not been sufficiently proven by clinical studies, despite predominantly positive experiences in practice. The effects and advantages of kinesiology tape listed here are based on years of experience from customers, athletes and experienced therapists.
