There are many obvious advantages to using kinesiology (also known as K-Tape) tape in the clinical setting. Firstly, because it is mainly cotton-based, it breathes and does not require drying in the shower. Due to its flexibility, it is perfect for knees and other joints that need to move. In addition to bruising mitigation, injury prevention, and rehabilitation, kinesiology tape can also help with oedema. A joint's range of motion is reduced by sports tape more than by K tape because it is stronger, stickier, and offers less flexibility. If you have hypermobile joints or an active injury, this is the best choice. Water resistance makes kinesiology tape suitable for showers and other moisture-contacting activities. The tape is strong enough that you can use it for three to five days without irritating the skin or underlying structures. In addition to providing support, kinesiology tape allows you to have a normal range of motion. The athletic tape, on the other hand, should only be applied a few minutes before an activity and removed immediately afterward to prevent further damage. Leaving it on for too long can irritate the skin because it is not waterproof. It is often recommended that the tape be pre-wrapped with a non-adhesive material instead of being applied directly to the skin.
