K Tape

For Faster Recovery

What is K Tape | Kinesiology Taping?

We’ve all seen it. The guy or the girl in the gym or running outdoors with tape running in all directions? Maybe you’ve seen them across the shoulder, around the knee cap, or on back of calves and wondered what is that stuff? It’s certainly not the ACE wrap we grew up with when I was injured. Does placing a piece of tape on you actually provide performance benefits?

It is an elastic sports tape designed to relieve pain while supporting muscles, tendons, and ligaments*.

When an area of the body is injured through impact or over-use, the lymphatic fluid builds up causing inflammation and swelling. This accumulation of lymphatic fluids may cause increased pressure on muscles and tissue which can cause significant discomfort or pain*.

It is believed that when applied correctly, KT Tape lifts the skin, decompressing the layers of fascia, allowing for greater movement of lymphatic fluid which transports white blood cells throughout the body and removes waste products, cellular debris, and bacteria.

WHY USE IT?

It is believed that KT Tape helps in reducing pressure to the tissue, which may reduce discomfort or pain. In addition, it is also believed that correct taping can help provide support to muscles by helping the muscle to not over-extend or over-contract.

WHO SHOULD USE Kinesio Tape?

Whether you are training for your first marathon, getting ready for your first game, reaching a personal fitness goal, or just trying to get through the day, nothing slows you down more than pain and injury. KT Tape is light weight, comfortable to wear, and can be used for many common injuries. KT Tape provides pain relief and support* so you don’t have to slow down

HOW DOES IT WORK?

During injury blood and other fluids build up causing inflammation and swelling. If there’s too much inflammation, excess is unable to be removed by the lymphatic system. In short, the lymphatic vessels become compressed which prevents oxygen and nutrients from being delivered to healing tissues. When properly applied, the elasticity in the tape gently lifts the skin from the tissues below. This gentle lifting of the skin creates a space to improve blood and lymphatic flow which ultimately helps to alleviate pressure and reduce swelling. Once blood flow is restored, oxygen and nutrients are better able to reach damaged tissues to help enhance healing.

As a result, there are other benefits to K taping besides pain relief and reduction of inflammation. It is also used to support injured muscles or joints without restricting full range of motion in individuals with neurological disorders.

It helps to aid in faster muscle recovery, prevents cramps or spasms, prevents over-stretching or over-contraction of muscles, and also enhances muscle tone and strength.

DIY Application

If you prefer to apply kinesio tape yourself, here's a general guide. However, it's crucial to remember that professional application can significantly enhance the effectiveness and comfort of the tape.

  1. Clean and dry the skin thoroughly. Remove any oils or lotions that might affect adhesion.
  2. Measure and cut the tape to the desired length and shape based on your specific needs. Round the corners to prevent snagging.
  3. Apply a small anchor strip to the end of the muscle or area you want to target, with the muscle in a relaxed position.
  4. Stretch the muscle slightly in the desired direction of movement. Apply the main part of the tape with gentle to moderate tension, following the muscle or joint contours.
  5. Rub the applied tape firmly to ensure good adhesion.

Removal Tips:

  1. Kinesio tape is designed for gentle removal. Dont Rip Off the tape
  2. Apply some oil, lotion, or warm water to the tape a few minutes before removal to loosen the adhesive.
  3. Slowly peel the tape back in the direction of hair growth for maximum comfort.
