Kinesiology tape is a flexible adhesive that supports muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Athletes and physical therapists often use it to help alleviate pain and promote healing. One of the main benefits of kinesiology tape is that it helps to reduce pain and inflammation by lifting the skin away from the muscles and tendons. This can help improve blood flow and circulation, speeding up the healing process.
