K-Active Tape
Athletic tape has come a long way and although traditional white tape is still widely used, more athletes and patients are choosing to use Kinesiology tape.
Kinesiology Tape's first foray into the limelight came in the recent Olympic games and since then, the taping method has been used on a number of high profile athletes. Now that the tape has received some time on the field, it's becoming increasingly popular in rehabilitation and training facilities.
Depending on a user's activities, Kinesiology tape can be worn for two to five days without changing it and has a number of unique qualities. The medical grade acrylic adhesive pattern allows the skin to breathe and aids the circulation of sweat and air, it is waterproof and hypoallergenic. Kinesiology tape is unrestrictive allowing the wearer freedom of movement while reducing the contraction of the muscle and increasing natural blood flow to the muscle, encouraging the natural healing process.
One interesting area of application is scars. Applying pressure on a scar that is healing is a technique used in physical therapy for many years. Clinical improvements have been observed in scars of the upper & lower limb.
