Product Information

When headed to the gym for a good pump, it is important to give your joints the stability needed to hit the weights you want. OK Tape Kinesiology Tape can not only enhance joint stability so you can lift with confidence, but it works to relax soft tissue and improve form. Made with a mixture of cotton and spandex and featuring a water wave design, OK tape has a 180-percent elastic ratio to provide support without restricting the range of motion.

Even if you don’t have a specific, intense allergy, some adhesives may irritate sensitive skin. Several brands offer “gentle” tapes with weaker adhesives that are less likely to cause redness or swelling. KT TAPE PRO synthetic fibres feature a much longer elastic core which delivers better support for muscles, joints and tendons without restricting comfort and range of motion. LONGER LASTING Kinesiology tape (or KT) is typically used for various therapeutic and preventative measures. Pain relief, joint and ligament support, faster recovery, and enhanced performance are among the top reasons for its use. KT also works to help reduce swelling and improve mobility both during and after exercise or when rehabilitating an injury.There are quite a few brands out there now, but KT Tape is probably the most popular kinesio tape among athletes. I also taped for shin splints. Not shin splints the serious injury, just the minor shin pain when running.

However, while the synthetic tapes might be better to work with, once the cotton tape was applied, it functioned exactly as it was supposed to! The elasticity in kinesiology tape dictates how much range of motion you will have when wearing it on certain parts of your body. Experts recommend a minimum elasticity rating of 160-percent, so it is easier to use and will move with your body. This is particularly important when worn during exercise to encourage proper form without limiting range of motion. Fit I’m not a doctor, so I can’t explain exactly how kinesiology tape works. My understanding is that the tape provides a gentle support for the skin surrounding your muscles, which increases your awareness of those muscles, which then makes your muscles and joints feel supported, even thought the thin tape does not look like something capable of supporting you!Your knee is going to be one of the more difficult joints to tape! But I followed their instructions and did alright. And once the tape was on, it was wonderful! I realized it the very first time I used it. I needed 5 strips for my knees – 4 full strips, and two 1/2 strips. Getting the 5 strips was easier than ripping 5 pieces of toilet paper! Available in seven colors, the continuous, unbroken roll helps provide joint stability, improved circulation, decreased pain, and eased soreness while ensuring a solid range of motion. It was designed to be worn even during intense exercise, and the poly-acrylic adhesive works well to keep the tape in place for multiple days. Users appreciate how easily cuttable the tape is, the low price point, and the moderate elasticity that provides support and stability. I guess on the downside, the full-length strips were about 2″ too long, and that adds up to a lot of extra tape used without reason.
