Foundational Recovery

Our science-driven approach to enhancing rehabilitation and performance with kinesiology tape

Enhancing Rehabilitation and Performance

Kinesiology tape is a versatile tool used in sports, manual therapy, and daily activities to improve physical performance and accelerate recovery. Spidertech works through various mechanisms to optimize muscle function, improve circulation, provide stabilization, and enhance sensory feedback.

The Building Blocks of Foundational Recovery

Circulatory Enhancement

Circulation is key for recovery, speeding nutrient delivery and waste removal at injury sites, and reducing swelling.

Neuromuscular Facilitation

Essential for restoring muscle strength and coordination, crucial for effective rehabilitation and preventing further dysfunction.

Pain Management

Effective pain modulation is crucial, reducing discomfort and enabling more active participation in recovery activities.

Structural Support

Structural support stabilizes injuries, allowing safe movement and preventing further damage during the healing process.

Circulatory Improvement

Kinesiology tape enhances blood flow and lymphatic drainage, facilitating faster recovery and reducing inflammation.

Swelling Reduction

Increases lymphatic drainage and circulation, effectively reducing swelling and speeding the healing process from injuries.

Improved Blood Circulation

Boosts blood flow to tissues, speeding nutrient delivery and waste removal for faster tissue repair.

Post-Activity Recovery

Reduces post-exertion muscle recovery time by promoting the removal of lactic acid and metabolic waste.

Muscle Function Optimization

Strategically applied kinesiology tape helps optimize muscle function by either relaxing overworked muscles or stimulating underused ones, enhancing overall performance and aiding in injury prevention.

Relaxation of Overworked Muscles

Continuous passive feedback helps relax overworked muscles, reducing excessive contraction, aiding quicker recovery, and preventing spasms.

Activation of Underused Muscles

By providing tactile feedback, the tape increases neurological activity in underused muscles, promoting balanced muscle use and reducing the risk of overstrain and injury.

Performance Enhancement

Enhances proprioceptive feedback to improve coordination and muscle efficiency, crucial for high-level performance and reducing injury risks.

Sensory Feedback Enhancement

Kinesiology tape enhances neurological feedback and reduces pain by gently lifting the skin, which alleviates pressure on sensory nerves.

Effective Pain Management

Modifies sensory input to reduce pain signals sent to the brain, providing immediate relief from acute and chronic pain.

Continuous Therapeutic Input

Maintains optimal sensory stimulation, promoting neurological health and reducing chronic pain symptoms.

Proprioceptive Improvement

Enhances the body’s proprioceptive feedback, preventing falls and injuries in environments requiring complex body movements.

Stabilization Support

Kinesiology tape provides dynamic support, maintaining flexibility and stability during movement and rehabilitation.

Joint Alignment Support

Supports joints by mimicking the action of ligaments and tendons, reducing the risk of sprains and dislocations during high-risk activities.

Enhanced Muscular Response

Tactile stimulation from the tape increases sensory awareness, leading to better muscle activation and reducing the risk of injury.

Mobility Preservation

Allows full range of motion, supporting continued activity and preventing joint stiffness during recovery.
