What are the benefits of Spidertech Kinesiology Tapes?

Spidertech Kinesiology Tapes are  Pre-Cut Tapes professionally engineered to mimic the thickness and elasticity of human skin, which can help protect tissue during recovery and facilitate the body's natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body's range of motion.

Use it on your elbow, ankle, knee, back, wrist, shoulder during strenuous exercise.

In kinesiology, tapes are commonly used to assist in the recovery from injuries and provide support to the muscles and joints. Kinesiology tape, also known as elastic therapeutic tape or K-tape, is a flexible, stretchable tape that is applied directly to the skin. Here's how tapes are used in kinesiology to aid in the recovery process:

• Structural Support: Kinesiology tape is applied to provide support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting movement. By applying the tape in specific patterns, it can help correct bio-mechanical imbalances, support weak or injured areas, and promote proper alignment during physical activities.
• Pain Relief: The application of kinesiology tape can help alleviate pain associated with injuries. The tape's elastic properties create a lifting effect on the skin, which can help reduce pressure on pain receptors, improve blood circulation, and potentially alleviate discomfort.
• Improved Circulation and Lymphatic Drainage: Kinesiology tape can assist in improving blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in the affected area. The gentle pressure and lifting effect of the tape can help reduce swelling and promote the removal of metabolic waste and excess fluid, enhancing the healing process.
• Muscle Activation and Recovery: Kinesiology tape can be utilized to facilitate muscle activation and aid in the recovery of injured muscles. By applying the tape over specific muscles, it can provide tactile feedback and proprioceptive cues, encouraging proper muscle firing patterns and enhancing neuromuscular control. Additionally, the tape's gentle stimulation may help improve blood flow to the muscles and support the recovery process.
• Postural Correction: Kinesiology tape can assist in correcting postural imbalances. By applying the tape in specific patterns, it can provide feedback and support to muscles involved in maintaining proper posture, helping individuals maintain better alignment and reducing strain on specific areas.
• Scar Management: In some cases, kinesiology tape can be used to address scar tissue and promote optimal healing. By applying the tape over scarred areas, it may help soften and flatten the scar, enhance circulation, and improve the flexibility and appearance of the tissue.

Proper application of kinesiology tape is essential to ensure its effectiveness and avoid any adverse effects. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a physiotherapist or sports medicine specialist, who can assess your condition and provide appropriate guidance on the use of kinesiology tape for your specific injury or recovery process.
