With the London Marathon just gone, you may have spotted colourful tape on knees, ankles, shoulders or backs and wondered what it’s all about 👀
Kinesiology tape isn’t a magic cure and the research shows its effects are generally modest. But it can be helpful.
The tape provides sensory (tactile) input, which can improve body awareness. For some people, this creates a feeling of support or stability, and can act as a gentle reminder to move a little better or adjust posture.
As part of a wider rehab plan, taping can be a useful add on. And if you’re up against a deadline like race day, it might help settle symptoms enough to get you through.
👉 The key? It’s a tool, not a fix.
If you’re relying on tape every time you move, it’s worth looking at the bigger picture. Strength, control and load management are what really keep you moving well long term.
Let’s have a closer look, together 🤝
