Dynamic Tape

Dynamic Tape

Originally developed for athletes, sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, it is increasingly becoming an essential tool for therapists of all disciplines proving popular with neurological, pediatric and hand therapists.

Dynamic Tape is specially designed, highly elastic tape (over 200%) and is completely different from rigid sports tapes and kinesiology tapes.  Its unique properties and four way stretch allow for truly biomechanical approach to taping, something that integrates will with a clinician’s clinical reasoning process.

The tape is applied in a way that allows the elastic energy to decelerate motion and absorb load (eccentric), store energy once deceleration is complete and then re-inject it back into the system as shortening commences (concentric) in much the same way as a bungee cord.  In this way it can assist weak, injured or overloaded muscles or can be used to modify movement patterns to indirectly reduce loading or improve technique.

Dynamic Tape is extremely soft, highly conformable, breathable and water resistant.
