Athletic taping has been used for decades to prevent and manage sports injuries. However, kinesiology tape has introduced new options for athletes and clinicians.
Rigid, non-elastic tape providing maximum joint support and immobilization. Applied tightly, often with underwrap. Best for acute injury protection, joint immobilization, and high-contact sports. Not waterproof, used short-term (game/practice).
Elastic, flexible tape with 130-180% resting length stretch. Mimics human skin and muscle elasticity. Provides muscle support, pain relief, and lymphatic drainage. Water-resistant, can be worn for 3-5 days continuously. Best for chronic pain, swelling reduction, postural correction, and injury rehabilitation.
Linmed Medical manufactures high-quality kinesiology tape in rolls and pre-cut strips, available in multiple colors and adhesive strengths. CE and ISO 13485 certified.
