Kinesio Tape (KT)

Kinesio tape (KT), also known as Kinesiology tape or KT tape, is a type of elastic therapeutic tape that is used to treat and prevent a wide range of injuries and conditions.

KT tape is made from a stretchy and breathable cotton or synthetic fabric that is designed to mimic the flexibility and thickness of human skin. The tape is applied directly to the skin over the affected area, and can be worn for several days at a time.

The unique properties of KT tape allow it to support and stabilize the muscles and joints while still allowing for a full range of motion. The tape is applied in specific patterns and tensions, depending on the specific injury or condition being treated.

KT tape can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including muscle strains and sprains, joint pain and instability, inflammation, and postural imbalances. It can also be used to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and enhance athletic performance.
