K-tape Team Adhesive Tape - Pack of 2 strips

K-Taping® therapy:

K-Taping® is a drug-free therapy that supports the healing of many illnesses and relieves pain. Its range of options includes the treatment of muscle contractions, joint instability, lymphatic edema, incontinence, and menstrual pain. K-Taping® has quickly become an important pillar of modern therapy.
This effective concept has its place in elite sport. The patient retains full mobility, and their quality of life improves. Training remains possible despite injuries, and rehabilitation phases are reduced. Few sports disciplines don't use K-Taping® to support athletes during training, prevention, and rehabilitation.

K-Tape®:

For proper application of K-Taping® therapy, a specially designed tape, the K-Tape® sports strap, is required. Thanks to the quality of the material used (a waterproof membrane that allows evaporation), it is possible to wear the tape comfortably and without discomfort for several days, sometimes even up to two weeks. Its elasticity is comparable to that of human muscle. K-Tape® adheres to the skin thanks to its wavy acrylic layer and is activated by body heat. The durability of the tape, which does not contain any medication or adhesive substances, remains the same regardless of what the patient does: at work, during sports, while showering, swimming, and for all activities of daily life. The therapy therefore maintains its effect as long as the muscle tape remains in place.

How it works:

The various applications of K-Taping® allow for a wide variety of therapeutic uses. The most frequently used are:

• Improvement of muscle function : depending on the application, a toning or detonating effect is obtained.
• Joint support : by stimulating the proprioceptors, the movement of the joint is improved, the ligament applications stabilize it passively.
• Pain reduction : Pain reduction is achieved by activating the endogenous analgesic system and stimulating mechanoreceptors.
• Activation of the lymphatic system : during lymph retention, K-Taping® helps decongestion by creating more space between the skin and the injured area and thus promotes better circulation of the lymph.

Do the different colors of K-Tape® have the same characteristics?

All K-Taping® tapes, regardless of color, are manufactured in the same way, have the same tension and the same mechanical properties. Except for K-Tape® Pure, which has been bleached with oxygen and has not been bathed in a color (to meet a growing demand from patients for discreet tape). It is therefore more flexible, softer and even better tolerated by the skin. Originally designed only in red and blue (the effects of chromotherapy being controversial because of the lack of scientific support for the action of the wavelength on the cell), kinesiology tapes were used in a rather stimulating and soothing setting.

K-Tape®, a medical device:

K-Tape® products comply with the new regulations and are registered according to the new guidelines. They comply with MDR 2017/745.

Contraindications:
