    Kinesiology is the study of the mechanics of body movements. This specialized tape was invented by a Chiropractor over 30 years ago. Since then, it has made its way to the Olympics, gaining more and more recognition.

    StarkTape kinesiology athletic tape is made of 97% original cotton and 3% spandex with high elastic properties. The tape is almost identical to human skin in both thickness and elasticity. It is this property that allows the kinesiology tape to work with the soft tissue of the body versus restricting it. It is the elasticity that makes the sports tape a good modality for the treatment of lymphedema and chronic swelling.

    Many of StarkTape kinesiology tape applications may look similar, but the tapping can be applied for different purposes. For example, a taping for muscle tightness may look like a taping for muscle weakness. The way how tape is applied can determine how it works on the soft tissues. It is very important to read the directions of each of the taping methods carefully before applying the tape. A correctly tapping application can enhance the therapeutic benefits.
