Strap Med Kinesio Tape 5cm x 5m
Kinesiology tape is used to support muscles and joints, reduce pain, and improve range of motion. It is made from a cotton blend that is both breathable and water-resistant, and it is latex-free so it is safe for most people to use.
Kinesiology tape works by lifting the skin slightly, which creates a space between the skin and the underlying tissues. This space allows for increased blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can help to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. Kinesiology tape can also help to improve muscle function by providing support and stability to weak or injured muscles.
Kinesiology tape is often used by athletes to treat a variety of injuries.
Kinesiology tape can also be used to improve performance by helping to reduce muscle fatigue and improve range of motion.
Kinesiology tape is typically worn for 3-5 days, but it can be worn for longer if needed.
