Range of motion is not limited. During injury blood and other fluids build up causing inflammation and swelling. In short, the lymphatic vessels become compressed which prevents oxygen and nutrients from being delivered to healing tissues. When KT tape is properly applied, the elasticity in the KT tape gently lifts the skin from the tissues below. This gentle lifting of the skin creates a space to improve blood and lymphatic flow which ultimately helps to alleviate pressure and reduce swelling.
Once blood flow is restored, oxygen and nutrients are better able to reach damaged tissues to help enhance healing. As a result, there are other benefits to KT taping besides pain relief and reduction of inflammation. KT tape is also used to support injured muscles or joints without restricting full range of motion in individuals with neurological disorders. It helps to aid in faster muscle recovery, prevents cramps or spasms, prevents over-stretching or over-contraction of muscles, and also enhances muscle tone and strength.

To get you started, though, I asked Dr. Yuen to break down seven ways to use kinesiology tape that are "generally safe," whether you're dealing with low back pain, shoulder discomfort, pain in your Achilles, or some other mover's plight. The Achilles tendon is located on your Anchor one end with no stretch at the heel.
Stretch the tape to 75 percent stretch, and run it vertically up the Achilles towards the calf. Anchor the other end with no stretch," says Dr. Whether you're a runner , or someone experiencing knee pain from another sport, Dr. Yuen says kinesiology tape can be useful before you get moving. Cut two strips of equal length.
Anchor one strip at the bony point just below your knee. With 75 percent stretch, wrap the tape around the patella until you reach the quadriceps muscle and anchor without stretch. Use the other strip around the other side of the patella," says Dr.
Anchor one strip just above the knee. With 75 percent stretch, lay the tape down following the muscle fibers of the quadriceps. Anchor the end with no stretch near the top of your quadriceps," says Dr. In the video above, you'll see that you can apply two strips of tape instead of one for extra tension.
Applying kinesiology tape to your hamstring is similar to applying it to your quad, in that you'll usually want two stripes sloping across the muscle group. Have someone anchor the tape with no stretch at the back of the knee," says Dr. The authors of both reviews concluded that there is insufficient evidence to support the use of kinesio tape to prevent or treat injuries, or to improve strength or range of motion.
Despite this, many experts believe that kinesio tape may have a positive effect psychologically. Anecdotal evidence of its abilities may reflect a placebo effect it has on users—if people believe it's helping them, it may actually do so.
