First used by acupuncturists and chiropractors in Japan, today Kinesiology Tape is used by practitioners throughout the world to treat injuries and improve sports performance.
While the use of kinesiology tape is often associated with athletes such as Michelle Wie, Adrian Peterson and Jason Khalipa, medical professionals have been using it to alleviate a wide variety of ailments, not just sports injuries.
Dynamic Tape is a biomechanical tape, elastic just like kinesiology tape, but stretches in all directions with more resistance and recoil likened to a bungee cord. This allows for load absorption which assists in performance or injury management without limiting freedom of movement.
