Often confused with an Kinesio-Tape®, a sports tape differs fundamentally from it. In short, a sport-tape could be described as an “adhesive bandage”. Unlike the Kinesio-Tape it is completely unelastic!

Main objective is to protect the capsular ligament apparatus. Here the Sporttape is applied with a special technique, which depends on the particular joint and the movement that shall be restricted.

The Sporttape does not completely inhibits the mobility of a joint, but it restricts of to the extent to prevent an excessive or unwanted movement, however the exercise or the sportive activity should not be hindered.

Beside the possibilities explained above, it also may be used after acute injuries. For example to immobilize fractures.
