Kinesiology tapes are flexible tapes that are used to treat musculoskeletal injuries caused by sports or other physical stresses. Elasticity and thickness of these tapes match with human skin, providing support to the area where these are tapes are adhered. Kinesiology tapes aid in pain relief, muscle support, and swelling reduction. These tapes provide support to the body and help in controlling body parts that are affected by muscle inhibition. Also, it lifts the skin of body part where these are adhered due to its elastic properties. This uplifting of the skin allows internal drainage systems to drain lymph faster compared that without the tape. The same effect removes the byproducts of exercise such as lactic acid that causes post-exercise soreness. Hence, kinesiology tapes are increasingly preferred by healthcare practitioners as well as by athletes.
