Kinesiology Tape

Kinesiology tape is a very popular product, both among elite athletes and amateurs. The tape is used in the rehabilitation of many types of sports injuries and the basic idea is that the tape, with its great elasticity, provides stability without reducing blood circulation. The tape can also be used to prevent sports injuries. This is done by taping the joints before training or matches to avoid exposing the body to extreme positions.

Kinesiology tape has the following characteristics:
The tape is 100% cotton and latex-free
It can be stretched up to 30-40% from its original length
It can stay in place for up to 5 days due to a heat-sensitive acrylic adhesive
It allows the skin to breathe

It's waterproof so can be used in the pool or when showering. A good thing to keep in mind is that kinesio tape is not the same as sports tape. The main difference between them is their elasticity and, unlike kinesio tape, sports tape can inhibit blood circulation.
