Kinesiology Taping (K-Tape)

K-Tape is a rehabilitative taping developed by Dr. Kase from Japan and was seen in use with elite athletes at the Beijing Olympics of 2008.

Unlike other methods of taping, K-tape does not restrict movement in the skin, joints or muscles but encourages it with sensory input from the tape, activating the body's own healing mechanism.

There are different ways to apply the tape depending on the condition and it can stay on for several days aiding healing and enhancing activities.
