Muscle Support
|
As previously mentioned, your muscle strength may be assisted by kinesiology tape via physical assistance and tactile feedback through the skin, for example, proprioception boost. This phenomenon may assist both the able bodied athlete to enhance their performance and hypotonic, for example, children with low muscle tone.

Swelling Reduction
|
Kinesiology provides a passive lift to your skin via its elastic properties. This vacuum effect allows your lymphatic and venous drainage systems to drain and swollen or bruised tissue quicker than without the kinesiology tape. It is also thought that this same principle can assist the removal of exercise byproducts like lactic acid that may contribute to post-exercise soreness, such as, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
