Supportive kinesiology strapping is a widely used therapeutic technique designed to enhance recovery, prevent injury, and improve physical performance. This method involves applying elastic, adhesive tape to specific areas of the body to provide support while allowing for a full range of motion. Commonly used in sports and rehabilitation settings, kinesiology strapping has gained popularity for its versatility and effectiveness.

The tape works by lifting the skin slightly, creating space between the skin and underlying tissues. This mechanism improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pressure on pain receptors, which can help in managing discomfort and accelerating healing. Kinesiology strapping is also believed to provide proprioceptive feedback—enhancing body awareness and encouraging proper movement patterns during physical activity.
