Kinesiology Tape (K Tape)

SportTape Kinesiology Tape (K Tape) has been engineered to deliver superior stretch, reliable adhesion and exceptional skin-friendliness, making it an ideal choice for active individuals and athletes seeking dynamic support. With a legacy of enhancing the performance of Olympians and World Champions since 2012, this flagship kinesiology tape offers flexible support tailored to muscles and joints in motion. K Tape is not a shortcut to healing or a guaranteed solution for injuries. For optimal results, users are advised to consult a medical practitioner prior to use. Applied as part of a comprehensive rehab program, K Tape provides a valuable tool for recovery. It can help alleviate pain from muscle injuries, reduce inflammation, support tendons and ligaments dynamically, improve body awareness and aid in postural correction.

Features:
Muscle Support: Effective for targeted muscle support during activity.
Extra Sticky: Durable adhesion ensures it stays in place, even through sweat and weather.

Ideal Uses:
Injury Rehab: A trusted tool by thousands of athletes for common sports injuries, from ankle sprains to muscle strains.
Light Support: Delivers light support without restricting movement, perfect for stabilising joints during recovery.
Second Skin: Acts as a "second skin," offering an extra layer of protection.

How K Tape Works:
While the exact mechanisms are still under study, K Tape’s impact is believed to work in several ways:
Reduces Pressure on Pain Receptors: The tape’s elasticity creates a lifting effect on the skin, alleviating pressure on pain receptors and facilitating lymphatic flow.
Boosts Lymphatic Drainage: By lifting the skin, K Tape reduces compression on the affected area, promoting easier fluid movement into lymphatic vessels, supporting the body’s waste management and inflammation reduction.
Alleviates Pain Through Sensory Bombardment: Targeting the neuromuscular system, K Tape provides a sensory input that can help reduce the sensation of pain, essentially “distracting” the brain from pain signals.
Improves Movement: Adding a proprioceptive stimulus, K Tape aids motor control by helping individuals move with greater precision and accuracy.
