Kinesio Tape

(1 products)

Kinesio 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.

Kinerio 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.

WHY DO KINESIO TAPES HAVE DIFFERENT COLOURS?

The tape comes in different colours, but the tape itself is always exactly the same. Which colour you choose is simply a matter of taste ????

CAN I DO THE TAPING MYSELF?

You can apply the tape yourself, but it can be difficult for the person applying it in hard-to-reach places like the back. One tip is to get help from someone with experience in taping for the first time. You can also get excellent instructions via YouTube. Just google it and it will come up!
