Kinesiology taping been reported to have positive physiological effects on the lymphatic and circulatory system, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. Our specialized staff can help explain how to best utilize this method to alleviate your pain and other orthopedic issues.

Kinesiology tape is a sturdy, stretchy tape usually made with a blend of cotton and nylon. It is often used to help facilitate muscle function, stabilize joints, or keep muscles from contracting improperly. It can also be used to help decrease pain, swelling, and muscle spasms.

This article explains what kinesiology tape is, its uses, and the current research around it. It also explains the types of tape available, how to apply it, and when not to use it.

What Kinesiology Tape Does

While kinesiology tape seems a lot like elastic athletic tape, there are differences between the two. Among them are that:

Kinesiology tape is used to help with motion and reduce pain and spasm. Athletic tape is used for support and to limit motion, typically because of existing pain.

Kinesiology tape is a flexible material that moves when you move. Athletic tape is relatively inflexible.

Kinesiology tape helps to improve lymph transport and increase circulation. The tight binding nature of athletic tape serves to decrease circulation.

Kinesiology tape gently lifts the superficial layers of skin, creating a space between the skin, fascia, and underlying tissues. This is thought to promote better circulation and lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling and inflammation.

This can potentially change the proprioception input of the sensory nervous system in the muscles, joints, and skin. Proprioception is the sensation that allows you to know where your body is in space (say, how high your arm is raised)

Kinesiology tape is also thought to inhibit nociceptors (pain pathways) in your muscles, skin, and joint structures.6 Decreasing painful input to the brain is thought to normalize muscle tone, resulting in decreased pain and muscle spasms.

Decreasing swelling: If you have had swelling from an injury or surgery, kinesiology tape may help decrease the swelling by decreasing pressure between the skin and underlying tissues. This provides a pathway for excess fluids to travel through. Kinesiology tape is sometimes used in lymphedema management or for superficial contusions (bruises)

Scar tissue management: After surgery or trauma, you may have a scar over the area that was injured. Sometimes the tissue underneath the scar binds to your skin and underlying fascia. This scar tissue can limit your normal mobility and range of motion. Kinesiology tape can be used to gently pull on scar tissue, providing a low-intensity, long-duration stretch to the tight collagen that makes up scar tissue.
