Kinesiotape – Dynamic tape for training & movement
Kinesio tape is an elastic tape developed to support natural movement patterns in sports. Its special structure allows it to adapt flexibly to the skin and movements without restricting mobility. By gently stimulating the skin, it can promote a sense of movement and provide additional support.
The material is typically made of cotton fabric with a stretchy portion that adapts flexibly lengthwise while remaining stable laterally. The breathable, skin-friendly adhesive layer reacts to body heat and reliably stays in place even with sweat or slight contact with water. Kinesiology tape can be worn for several days and is suitable for a wide variety of athletic activities. Whether on the neck, knees, or shoulders – kinesiology tape is versatile.
The color pink is often associated with energy and activity. In practice, it—like other colors—is primarily used for visual differentiation or personal choice. The correct application technique is crucial: The tape can be cut into I-, Y-, or X-shapes and applied individually to the respective body region.
Kinesio tape can improve your sense of movement and promote body awareness. It's an integral part of many modern training and application concepts in sports and impresses with its flexibility, comfort, and versatility.
