Option+ Sports Tape is a type of kinesiology tape designed to provide support and stability to weak or injured joints. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
Features:
- Elastic Material: Made from a stretchy material, often nylon or cotton blend, that allows for movement while offering support.
- Adhesive Backing: Sticks well to the skin and stays adhered during activity.

Benefits for Weak or Injured Joints:
- Improved Proprioception: The gentle pressure from the tape can enhance your body awareness of joint position, potentially aiding stability and recovery.
- Pain Relief: By providing support and reducing micromovements that can irritate the joint, the tape might help alleviate pain.
- Improved Blood Circulation: Kinesiology tape application techniques can aim to improve circulation around the injured area, promoting healing.
- Enhanced Neuromuscular Support: The tape may help improve communication between muscles and nerves, promoting better movement patterns.
