What is the Benefit of Sports/Kinesiology Tape?
Elastic kinesiology tapes are believed to be beneficial in promoting both blood flow and improving lymphatic drainage to the taped areas.

The elastic and stretchy nature of these tapes have a neurological effect on refining body awareness, joint proprioception and altering pain perception.
