Pain relief with kinesiology tape
Pain and various complaints can be treated easily and without side effects using kinesiology tape. This tape is an elastic band that does not require any additional active ingredients and works within a few hours. The tape's elasticity is comparable to that of human skin.

The Effect of Kinesiologic Tape
Muscle and tendon pain can occur after sports injuries or after great physical exertion. This type of pain can be treated with kinesiology tape, which can be applied in a short time. The special elasticity of this tape and the selected direction of pull relieves the strain on muscles, tendons and joints and supports their ability to move. When muscles, tendons and joints are in pain, those affected often adopt a protective posture, which leads to misalignment. Kinesiologic tape can be used to avoid this. The tape can be cut and applied individually depending on the area of ​​application. It can be used for various therapy goals:

- Prevention of muscle and joint pain during work and sport
- Lymphology
- Sports physiotherapy.

The kinesiology tape is made of 97 percent cotton and 3 percent elastane, it is permeable to air and water. It can be worn during a wide variety of activities and does not restrict freedom of movement. The tape is breathable and is very skin-friendly. The kinesiology tape is anti-allergenic, it can also be worn by allergy sufferers.

Convenient to use
The kinesiology tape is available in 8 colors ; the color does not affect the effect of the tape. The tapes are offered in rolls that are 5 meters long and 5 centimeters wide. The tape has similar properties to human skin and is therefore very comfortable to use. Back in the 1970s, the Japanese chiropractor Kenzo Kase developed a therapy to alleviate various medical conditions. He was not satisfied with the properties of many materials, so he invented the tape made of elastic cotton fabric. The tape has an acrylic adhesive that makes it easy to attach to the skin. The adhesive is present in waves on the fabric. The tape has a massage effect on the skin, stimulating lymph drainage and blood circulation in the skin. Today, kinesiology tape is used by many sports therapists and orthopedists all over the world. Body heat activates the acrylic coating of the tape, and the effect sets in quickly. The tape can be stretched as much as possible or stuck loosely onto the skin; removing the tape is completely painless. The tape stays on the skin for five to eight days. Depending on the type of problem, the tape can be used on various parts of the body, for example on the biceps, triceps, thighs, elbows, neck, spine, knees, calves and abdominal muscles.

support of healing processes
Due to its special properties, the tape can shorten the healing process. In the case of tendonitis, torn muscle fibers and other painful injuries, the healing process can even be shortened by up to 50 percent. Since the effect often sets in immediately, tension, protective postures and other subsequent problems are avoided. You can treat yourself with the tape, but many experts advise against it. They recommend that treatment with the tape should be carried out by a doctor or therapist.
