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.
