Kinesiology tape or KT tape as it is commonly known, is made up of thin, stretchable cotton material. It comes with an acrylic adhesive and adhere to the skin. KT tape is used in case of musculoskeletal or sports injuries including those resulting in inflammation. It sits like the human skin on the body and is almost as stretchable and thick as the human skin. Kinesio tape does not bind, constrict or restrict natural movement. Kinesiology tape is mostly used by athletes to prevent injury or return to the sport faster. It also enhances sports performance by assuring low risk of overuse injuries. KT tape is very effective on its own and it can also be used with other treatments to obtain faster results. It can be worn for several days all the time while providing therapeutic benefits all this while. It is low in cost but produces great results. There are no side effects of using kinesio tape. It is easy to apply by yourself.
