Kinesiology Tapes for Muscle Correciions

The Zinc oxide physio tape. This tape consists of a rigid cotton material which is lined with a base consisting of Zinc Oxide. The rigid texture allows the tape useful in holding joints. The tapes immobilize the joints thus preventing unnecessary movements. Its rigid nature prevents knees from twisting and also enables ankles to roll in a specific direction.

 

Elastic Adhesive Bandage (EAB). This type of Kinesiology Tape allows some level of stretch and therefore is very useful when a Physiotherapist needs to expose an injured muscle to some level of stretch in a particular direction. These tapes create some stretch lengthwise. To balance the ratio of support, flexibility and support in an injured muscle, Physio tape is the best option available.

Kinesiology tapes are largely used as physio tapes. Their different and varied shapes and tension levels are very helpful when used as physio tapes. They can be used as corrective measure in wounded muscles that are healing and at the same time be used in healthy muscles to improve the performance of the muscles. When used in injured muscles, the Kinesiology Tapes enable the injured muscles to heal at a faster rate. For already healed muscles, the tapes help improve levels of fitness. The injured muscles therefore get back to their normal functions at a faster rate when the Kinesiology tapes are used in physiotherapy procedure 

  

Cohesive Bandages. This kind ofKinesiology Tapehas rubber coating which enables the tapes to get a good grip on the skin. The tapes are tearable and this becomes handy during their use as they can easily be cut to different desired lengths and shapes.
PVC sock tape. This type of physio tape has many uses. It therefore acts as a multipurpose tape with no specific function. For physiotherapy purposes, this tape is used in the physiotherapy kit bags to provide support. It can also be used to protect the Kinesiology Tape by wrapping them.
