What Is Kinesio Tape?

It is a type of elastic adhesive tape that is used to treat various musculoskeletal and neurologic conditions. Kinesio tape is designed to be worn for extended periods of time, and it is made from a stretchy, cotton-based material that is designed to mimic the properties of human skin. Because it is designed to be worn for extended periods of time, that means patients can continue to receive the therapeutic benefits of the tape even after they have left the clinic. Additionally, the tape is water-resistant, which means that patients can continue to wear it while they shower or swim.

How it works

When applied to the skin, kinesio tape can help to alleviate pain and improve function in a variety of ways. The tape is designed to create a lifting effect on the skin, which can help to reduce pressure on the underlying muscles and joints. This can be particularly beneficial for people with musculoskeletal pain patterns, as it can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.


Kinesio tape can also have other therapeutic effects on the body. For example, the tape can help to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage in the affected area, which can further aid in the healing process. Kinesio tape can also help to improve muscle activation, which can be beneficial for people with neurological conditions that affect muscle function.

Common uses
