Kinesiology tape is a thin, stretchy, elastic cotton strip with an adhesive backing. It is used to support muscles and joints, improve circulation, and reduce pain and inflammation. The tape is designed to mimic the elasticity and thickness of human skin, allowing for a full range of motion while providing support to the affected area. It is commonly used by athletes and physical therapists for injury prevention and rehabilitation. The tape is water-resistant and can typically be worn for several days at a time. It comes in a variety of colors and patterns and can be cut to fit specific areas of the body.
