Product Information

Fascia is a material that divides and separates the muscles and internal organs and helps to provide support against gravity in some parts of the body. One 2018 study concluded that kinesiotaping along with manual lymphatic draining improved congestion of lymphatic fluid after total knee replacement surgery and also improved blood circulation, relieving pain and improving functional outcomes after this type of surgery. Bending the knee while going down a flight of stairs, standing up from a sitting position, or even simply walking or running can cause pain and inflammation, often because of an underlying injury to your joint that’s causing a painful instability. In two recent studies, kinesiology tape reduced fluid buildup in women who underwent breast cancer treatment and people who had total knee replacements. The use of kinesiology therapeutic tape is becoming increasingly popular for treating and preventing injuries and providing relief from muscle pain.

The tape on the ends should be applied directly to the skin without stretching; otherwise it will pull up and will not stick.

All of your tissues — skin, connective tissue, fascia, muscles — contain sensory receptors that feel pain, temperature, and touch. This gentle lifting of the skin creates a space to improve blood and lymphatic flow which ultimately helps to alleviate pressure and reduce swelling. Each roll of kinesiology tape comes with 20 precut strips, which make the application process simple. The American Physical Therapy Association reports that kinesiology taping is most effective when it’s used in conjunction with other treatments like manual therapy.

Swelling: If you have inflammation from an injury or procedure, your doctor may apply the tape in a spider-like shape by cutting small projections from a main taped anchor spot, says Campbell. Looking for a roll of kinesiology tape that can withstand the wear and tear of your toughest workouts? When the area is decompressed, pain receptors send a new signal to the brain, and tension in the trigger point decreases.Since the tape promises to be moisture-wicking, it should keep you comfortable, even as you work up a sweat. Misaligned tendons and ligaments can become inflamed or torn, and that means every step can be excruciating without supporting your knee joint externally to keep its mechanical components into place. With that said, there are a few steps you can expect to follow no matter how or why you're using kinesiology tape.
