KT Tape
Flexible support for muscles and joints that need guidance without fully restricting motion.
Support that moves with you
KT Tape, also known as kinesiology tape, provides elastic support for muscles and joints while allowing comfortable movement. It may help with body awareness, swelling management, and short-term support during recovery.
What is KT Tape?
KT Tape is an elastic therapeutic tape applied to the skin in specific patterns. Unlike rigid athletic tape, kinesiology tape stretches and moves with the body. It can provide sensory feedback, light support, and guidance for irritated muscles or joints. Taping is not a stand-alone fix, but it can be a helpful support while your body heals and while you work on mobility, strength, and movement control.
How KT Tape can help

Common questions about KT Tape
Many applications can be worn for a few days, depending on skin tolerance, activity level, and how well the tape adheres. We will give specific instructions after application.
KT Tape can usually tolerate light water exposure. Pat it dry instead of rubbing, and remove it if it becomes loose or irritates your skin.
Taping can be helpful support, but it is usually most effective when paired with care that addresses movement, strength, mobility, or tissue irritation.

Why taping is part of a bigger plan
KT Tape can provide support and feedback, but active recovery often depends on restoring strength, mobility, and control. We use taping to support those goals, not replace them.
