What Is Kinesio Taping?
Kinesiology Tape is a stretchy therapy tape, which is designed to provide a number of potential benefits. First of all, the main difference between this type of tape and traditional white athletic tape (the kind that is used to tape ankles and hockey sticks) is that white trainers tape is rigid and kinesiology tape is stretchy. This is important because it often provides the feeling of support, but does not restrict movement. Depending on the direction of application, it is also theorized that we can potentially turn up or turn down muscle activity and/or inhibition.
