Description
K Tape or kinesiotape or Rock tape, is a tape that has 140% elasticity which matches the same characteristics of the human skin. It gives non-restricted support that permits muscles to perform at full range of motion.
The Kinesio Tape is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting.
K tape has also be shown to increase blood flow and reduce swelling. It has a proprioceptive role, which is great for rehabilitation of soft tissue injuries during return to sport.
K tape is more flexible and therefore more comfortable, but less supportive than rigid tape.
