What Is Kinesiology Tape?

Kinesiology Tape is a flexible and breathable sticky tape designed for application to the skin. It is designed to provide pressure to the area it is covering, supporting the muscles and tissues and helping to increase blood flow.

How Can I Use Kinesiology Tape?

This tape can be used during physiotherapy to enhance proprioceptive awareness. Feeling the tape pulling on the body part that is moving can help to call attention to the feel of the muscles moving, improving the wearer’s sense of proprioception. There are also a variety of other uses for this tape, like supporting muscles during athletic activities and physical labour. Specific uses include:

• Enhancing athletic performance by supporting the relevant muscles
• Facilitating tasks that involve physical labour and repetitive tasks, ensuring maximum support for the muscles to minimise the risk of injury or pain
• Easing joint pains and aiding in injury recovery
• Minimising aches caused by sitting at a desk for long periods
• Dealing with complications caused by poor posture (e.g., pain, joint degeneration, and rounded shoulders)
• Re-training muscles, for example to improve back and neck posture
• Managing scars that limit range of motion or movement
• Increasing blood flow and reducing swelling

It is important to note that while kinesiology tape has a variety of uses, its impact is still being studied.

When Should I Avoid Using Kinesiology Tape?

Though this tape is safe to use, it’s important to consider whether it is the right choice for you. For example, while this tape is reported to help with increasing blood flow and reducing swelling, it is not recommended for use following lymph node removal or if you have deep vein thrombosis. This is because increasing fluid flow in the area could cause severe complications.

If you are using this tape following an injury or illness, it is recommended that you first consult your doctor or GP. While some people have reported that the tape can facilitate a quick recovery and reduces swelling, it is best to assess the tape’s suitability for your specific needs with a medical professional.
