Tape and Kinesiology

Tape and kinesiology are widely used in the field of sports medicine and physical therapy to support and stabilize muscles and joints during activity. Kinesiology tape is a stretchy, adhesive tape that is applied directly to the skin over muscles and joints to provide support without restricting movement. It can help reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance proprioception (the body's awareness of its position in space). On the other hand, rigid tape is a non-elastic tape that is commonly used to provide stability and prevent excessive movement in joints and muscles. It is often used to support injured areas or to reinforce proper biomechanics during physical activity. Both types of tape are versatile tools that can be applied in various ways to address a wide range of injuries and conditions, making them essential components of rehabilitation and injury prevention programs.
