Athletes all over the world have found benefits of dynamic tape. It has one of the most widely used therapeutic modalities in both athletic and healthcare settings. Below are 3 of the benefits of these tapes.

1. Pain Relief

The tape itself does not contain any medications or topical substances. However, dynamic tape works well for relieving acute and chronic pain. When the dynamic tape is applied, the tape provides lifting of the skin. The lifting of the skin allows for increased blood flow and lymphatic drainage at an injury site. We utilize this effect of the tape to help decrease swelling and bruising in acute injuries, and this helps decrease healing times. Also, the tape stimulates receptors in the skin which are called mechanoreceptors. These mechanoreceptors provide a competitive stimulus that blocks pain signals (nociceptors) going to the brain

2. Provides stability to weak muscles, and muscles that aren’t being recruited enough. 

One of the most important effects of dynamic tape is providing the body with strength and stability which in turn helps compensating muscles to relax. The unique elastic properties and application techniques of kinesiology tape allow it to provide support to injured muscles or joints without restricting the range of motion.
