Dynamic Tape "Biomechanical Tape" 5cm X 5m Tattoo

Dynamic Tape is a revolution in taping. How so? Let’s start with a little about the tape itself.

Dynamic Tape is made from a synthetic material and lycra fabric, unlike kinesiology tapes, which are mainly cotton.

Dynamic Tape is designed to stretch in all directions (4-way stretch), while kinesiology tapes are designed to stretch lengthwise (2-way stretch).

Dynamic Tape has significantly greater resistance and recoil, similar to a bungee cord. Kinesiology tapes have a very gentle recoil, designed to lift the skin.

Dynamic Tape can stretch to more than 200% of its resting length without a restrictive end point. Kinesiology tapes typically stretch 140%–180% with a defined hard end point where the tape will not stretch any further. This prevents the tape from being applied with the body part in a shortened position while still maintaining a full range of motion.

Dynamic Tape is designed to work mechanically, created to alter movement patterns while absorbing load and re-injecting that energy back into movement without restricting range of motion. Kinesiology tapes are designed to work neurophysiologically, meaning they interact with the skin to change pain perception, assist with lymphatic drainage, and encourage changes in neuromuscular function. Why is it called “Biomechanical Tape”?

Dynamic Taping is about load management, movement pattern management, and function management by introducing force into the system, based on sound clinical reasoning. Biomechanics is defined as “the study of the mechanical laws relating to the movement or structure of living organisms.” Dynamic Tape is an external load-absorbing product that affects muscle performance and joint movement. As mentioned, kinesiology tapes are intended to lift the skin to create space, relieve pressure on pain-sensitive structures, increase circulation, or influence muscle activity by sending input into the nervous system through the skin. Dynamic Tape does not fit into this category, but it does fit within the concepts of biomechanics. In fact, Dynamic Taping has more in common with traditional rigid athletic tapes, Mulligan and McConnell taping, than with kinesiology taping.

How does Dynamic Taping work? The focus on movement, function, and load allows us to achieve effective results. Dynamic Tape has been specifically developed to provide strong mechanical assistance from the outside.

Reduce the workload on injured tissues

Support weak muscles

Improve movement patterns

Increase stability through a force-closure mechanism

Change position to improve the muscle’s ability to generate force (length-tension relationship or modifying lever arms), while still allowing a full range of motion even when performing complex, multiplanar movements such as those required in sport or at work.

Of course, you will see many taping applications on athletes where there is no possibility of a mechanical effect. Certain criteria must be met, and achieving a mechanical effect on some parts of the body is much more difficult than on others. Proper application is essential.
