What does it do?
Kinesiology tape doesn’t “fix” injuries — but it can influence how the body senses and responds to movement.
When applied to the skin, the tape provides a light, constant stimulus to your skin receptors.
These receptors send signals to the brain about position, movement, and pressure - this is proprioception
This added sensory input may help to:
• Improve proprioception (awareness of joint position and movement)
• Alter how the brain interprets discomfort
• Encourage more confident, controlled movement
There’s also some evidence that taping may slightly affect local circulation and reduce perceived pain — although results vary between individuals.
Overall, the effects are likely neurological rather than structural.
That’s why taping is best used as part of a wider approach — alongside movement, loading, and rehabilitation.
In short:
It doesn’t “hold things in place” — but it may help the body move and respond more comfortably.
As always, massive thanks to for making us look good!
