In recent years more and more athletes, patients and physical therapists use tapes that look like colorful stickers on their bodies (mainly in shoulders, knees, waist, forearms , calves etc).

These films are calledmotion pictures (Kinesiolοgy tapes, kinesio tape, KTape , kt tape etc) and applied to the skin with various benefits for patients and people who deal with itfitness, some of which according to the literature we will mention below:

a) Lightlysupport and supporting injured muscles and tendons without limiting range of motion (such as e.g.  it is done with a splint that completely limits the range of motion (ROM)).

b) Reduction of pain (and of the year) , since during the application of the kinesio tape the skin is slightly lifted above the point of pain, resulting in a reduction of the pressure received by the nerve-receptors under the skin at the specific point.

c) Reduction of edema and inflammation , since by reducing the pressure at the point, the lymphatic fluid is better channeled.

d) Faster recovery of over-trained muscles , since through the better circulation achieved by the use of motion picture film, training by-products such as e.g. lactic acid ,that exist in those tired muscles, allowing more oxygenated blood to pass through resulting in their rejuvenation.

e) Better perfusion local and thus prevention of muscle spasms and cramps.

While the athlete is wearing the kinesiology tapes, he can perform his exercise routine normally with gym tires , weights , swimming, run, massage etc.
