Kinesiology Tapes

Kinesiology tape is an elastic cotton strip with a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive that stretches lengthwise and moves with your skin. It isn't worn like a bandage: the tape gently lifts the skin above the muscle, and that's what creates the feeling of support and eases part of the load for 3–5 days. Width depends on the zone. 2.5 cm — fingers, face, and small joints. 3.8 cm — wrist, neck, and forearm. 5 cm — universal: knee, shoulder, calf, ankle. 7.5 cm — lower back and thigh. 10 cm — back and large muscles, when one strip needs to cover everything. Two series. Economy — the same cotton tape in 11 colors, for trying it out or taping occasionally. Professional — denser fabric and adhesive that holds up better through workouts and showers; for anyone taping every week. Both series come in 5 m rolls. Color doesn't treat anything. That's an advertising myth: blue doesn't "cool," red doesn't "warm." Choose nude if you want it discreet, or a bright color if you want the opposite. Honestly, about the effect. Studies show a small, short-term reduction in pain — the tape supports you while you recover, but it doesn't replace a doctor and it doesn't "heal" ligaments.
