Kinesiology taping with special elastic tapes is used around the world to relieve pain, treat swelling and discomfort and improve mobility. It is based on the theory that by adjusting the tension of skin with the tape, muscle, circulation and lymphatic function can be improved. The wave coating of the adhesive gently supports the body's own healing process by acting on the neuro-muscular system, improving blood and lymph circulation and relieving pain. The tapes themselves are made to resemble skin's own properties offering high comfort and support for the body allowing for a full range of motion which makes it very popular in the sports world.
