Thousands of people trust KT Tape to provide pain relief and support, from the everyday active individual to the professional competitor.
Pain, soreness or injury in muscles, tendons or ligaments can be distracting and limiting. KT Tape is designed to provide drug-free pain relief and flexible support.
KT Tape increases stability, decreases discomfort and lifts the skin to temporarily increase local blood flow and reduce muscle soreness post-workout.
HOW DOES KT TAPE WORK
Christopher Harper, PT, DPT, OCS, is a doctor of physical therapy and a board-certified orthopedic specialist. He's also on the KT Medical Advisory Board, and explains some of the 'how' behind kinesiology tape.
“Kinesiology tape is theorized to affect proprioception through mechanoreceptors in the skin and in turn may improve the control of active movement as well as alter sensory feedback perceived as pain from an area of the body.
Kinesiology tape has also been observed enhancing the body’s own natural uptake of interstitial fluid and debris resulting from injury by augmenting the mechanical action of the lymphatic system.”
