Kinesio Tape

Kinesio Tape

Kinesio tape, an elastic cotton-type sports tape sold in colours, applied to the skin to support muscles and joints during activity.

Typical use

Unlike rigid tape, kinesio tape stretches with the body, so it supports muscles and joints without restricting movement. Physiotherapists and athletes use it for strains and overuse problems, and it can stay on through showers and training for several days.

Before you order

Choose the width and roll length, the colours you want and whether pre-cut strips are needed. Ask about the adhesive strength, the stretch and skin tolerance, and how long the tape can stay applied.
