Sports & Kinesiology Tapes
There are various types of tapes in the market. For the maximum possible support, rigid strapping tapes are used and these are also commonly called “sports tapes” or “athletic tapes.” Now if the individual’s situation requires less support to allow for more mobility, elastic strapping tapes are the more ideal option. Moreover, we also have kinesiology tapes, or KTs, which are like elastic tapes but with the capability to assist in the dynamic muscle function.
What are sports tapes and what are they for?
Athletic tapes are therapeutic tools rising in popularity not only among sports enthusiasts but basically anyone suffering from injury. These elasticated tapes are strategically applied to the body to aid in more efficient and less-straining movement and muscle activity. Kinesiology tapes serve as means of prophylaxis or rehabilitation among individuals who need help with their musculoskeletal issues.
Among other things, the main benefits of taping are pain relief, injury and recurrence prevention, de-loading of painful structures, protection of injured areas to allow healing to ensue, soft tissue compression to reduce swelling and edema, stability and support, improvement of athlete confidence, correction of faulty biomechanics, enhancement of proprioception, reduction of delayed onset muscle soreness, decrease in fatigue, facilitation of normal muscle movement, and assistance in proper postural patterns.
