An advanced type of sports taping. Tex tape is used to improve muscle function and performance. The light, hypoallergenic elastic tape is applied to the skin over weak muscles or injured tissues. It can comfortably be worn for up to five days. Traditional sports tapes, by comparison, can usually only be worn for up to 24 hours and merely act to restrict movement. Using Kinesio Tex Tape over an injury reduces swelling and inflammation to improve healing, and also allows a greater amount of movement than conventional taping. This is important as it allows the muscles to remain strong around the injury, resulting in a quicker return to activity.
