Aupcon kinesiology tape - application

Body sport kinesiology tape is a thin, flexible adhesive physio tape. The best-selling style is cotton kinesiology tape, made of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, specifically developed to assist muscle movement and improve athletic performance. It is commonly used to relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, and provide support for joints and muscles.

The high elasticity, or stretch, of physiotherapy tape allows for free movement without feeling tight when applied to the skin. This distinguishes it from rigid, inelastic white sports tape, which is typically used to restrict muscle and joint movement and provide support for rehabilitation after sports injuries and is suitable for those with limited muscle mobility or difficulty controlling muscle contractions.

Initially, the choice of these colors was based on the principles of “color therapy.” In practical applications, when using colored kinesiology tape, aesthetic factors such as black, blue, pink, and skin tone are usually considered. Sometimes, therapists use one color for structural taping to support joints and then another color to secure muscles, making the application clear and preventing mistakes.

Yes, body sport physio tape can get wet. It’s waterproof, so you can use it while showering, swimming, or skiing. The cotton material in the tape absorbs some moisture and dries quickly without affecting the adhesive, ensuring a stable fit.

The knees, thighs, calves, Achilles tendons, ankles, and feet are the most vulnerable areas to these sports injuries. You can get injured if you’re not careful! Ankle sprains, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, runner’s knee, calf muscle pain, iliotibial band syndrome, and more are common types of injuries.

Body tape for sports can help runners relieve lower limb stress, overuse, impact, and muscle fatigue, while also providing support and reducing inflammation and pain. Sports such as soccer, long jump, high jump, and trampoline can also benefit from this technique.

Volleyball requires explosive jumps, powerful swings, and rapid changes of direction, placing immense stress on the shoulders, elbow, wrist, fingers, knees, and ankles. Common volleyball injuries include lateral ankle sprains, knee tendinitis, finger joint injuries, lower back pain, tennis elbow, sprained wrist, and shoulder tendinitis; similar conditions are also frequently encountered in basketball, tennis, table tennis, badminton, and golf.

There are two methods for addressing these issues:

For localized muscle pain, we can learn how to use kinesiology tape for scientific application and effectively relieve pain and reduce inflammation, and swelling.

For areas that are particularly prone to injury, sprains, or even fractures, such as fingers and ankles that withstand greater impact, we use finger tape and zinc oxide tape to wrap the fingers and ankles, restricting their range of motion to prevent excessive rotation and sprains.

For people with delicate skin, a layer of pre-wrap should be wrapped around the skin before using sports tape to protect the skin and prevent tearing when removing it.

In familiar sports like running, volleyball, basketball, and soccer, body sport kinesiology tapes or pre-cut tapes are often used to treat injuries by taping specific areas of the body. However, Aupcon’s newly designed kinesiology patches in various shapes offer even more health benefits. For example, it can be applied to the mouth and nose to effectively prevent snoring, or used for localized protection of other body parts such as the knees and back. It can even be used with medical devices like blood glucose meters to help accurately measure blood pressure, making it practical, effective, and versatile.
