Kinesiology Tape KT-18, Elastic Therapeutic Tape
A cotton and spandex kinesiology tape that supports muscles and stabilises joints without restricting movement, suited to sports therapy, rehabilitation and everyday athletic training use.
The Kinesiology Tape, model KT-18, is a medical-grade elastic therapeutic tape designed to provide muscle support, joint stabilisation and pain relief while still allowing the body to move naturally through its normal range of motion. Unlike rigid strapping tape, kinesiology tape is meant to work with the body's movement rather than restrict it, which makes it popular for supporting muscles during activity rather than immobilising them completely.
The tape is made from 95 percent cotton and 5 percent spandex, a blend that gives it breathability alongside the stretch needed to move with the skin, and it uses a hot-melt or acrylic adhesive designed to keep the tape securely in place through sweat and movement. Physiotherapists, sports therapists and athletic trainers apply tape like this to support muscles and joints during training, competition and rehabilitation from soft tissue injuries, often as a complement to other treatment rather than a standalone therapy.
Its flexible, breathable design suits extended wear across multi-day training or competition periods.
