Phoenix Area Mobile KT Tape Therapy

If you’ve participated in sporting events or watched some on TV, surely, you’ve seen athletes sporting, sometimes colorful, strips of tape on various parts of their body. You might even recognize the term Kinesiology Tape, or KT tape, but do you know what it is? Or what it can do for you? 



Kinesiology tape is a medical tape made of a combination of cotton, spandex, and adhesive, which is what makes it different from the standard athletic tape, made strictly from cotton. KT can be applied to your muscles and was developed to mimic the elasticity of human skin. It is tape that provides sensory input into an area, but still allows for full range of motion. Standard tape is rigid and when applied to an area it is used to support and enhance stability, thus restricting mobility. KT tape can stretch up to 40% of its length, allowing for support throughout your motion.



KT tape can be applied to assist with swelling, pain or joint dysfunction. It is utilized for management of acute injuries, post-operative conditions, posture correction and to support weak muscles.
