5 FACTS YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY KINESIOLOGY TAPE

Kinesiology tapes are becoming popular - especially with medical professionals such as physical therapists and chiropractors. This is because of their wide range of benefits. They’re designed to alleviate the pain of an injured body part, reduce swelling, improve fluid circulation, and provide support.

Don’t be surprised if there are many people who’ll come to your office asking whether they can use kinesiology tapes or not. After all, they need the opinion of someone who knows about the human body more than they do for the tape's proper application. 

This is a tough decision to make as there are many brands of tape available in the market right now.

But, you have to remember that not allkt tapes are created equal. Some have been made with low-quality materials that may harm the skin or can easily break with just a little bit of sweat. You have to consider this when giving your opinion as a medical professional. 

This is how Tape Geeks is different—ourktapes are strong, sensitive, and made from high-quality materials.

    After three consecutive days of using the tape, let your skin breathe as you leave it off for at least a full day.

    Professional grade and excellent quality.

    Was recommended this tape by a friend, and I’m glad he did! This is by far the best kinesiology tape I’ve used over the past 10+ years. I’ve used other popular tapes out there but this one is just way better in terms of the fabric (great quality, the adhesive holds extremely well, and the stretchiness is a lot more responsive to movement compared to other tapes I’ve used. Definitely a premium tape, A++ product.

    Wow, what an amazing tape. 

    I have used this tape for almost two months. Wow, what an amazing tape. My muscles were a bit “overused” from the intense workout regime so I applied the kinesiology tape to prevent overstretching and speed up recovery. This tape is elastic and allowed me to keep working out without restricting the range of motions.

    Great tape for my golfer’s elbow! 

    I purchased this tape to help treat some mild golfer’s elbow or medial epicondylitis. I don’t golf but got it from a combination of desk work and rock climbing. I use the tape to unload the base of the medial epicondyle tendon by taking the tension into the tape and soft tissues. This helps decrease pain, increase strength, and helps with healing. This tape works great! For my purpose the tape was a bit wide, so I cut it with scissors lengthwise and it cut just fine. The tape applied fine and has a good amount of stickiness to it. I wore the tape all day under my dress shirt and the tape help up and didn’t come off. I read the other reviews, which suggested round the corners which sounds like a good idea and will try next time. On removing the tape there was no leftover glue and the tape came off easier than I expected without removing my arm hair (my elbow doesn’t have much hair though). No-fuss, no mess, and did the job! Great stuff!
