Wrestling has been around for thousands of years and could be the oldest competitive sport on the planet. As long as wrestling has been around, so have the injuries. While an accurate diagnosis is always the first step in treatment, wrestlers can find pain relief and support through the use of kinesiology tape.


For a limited time only, KT TAPE is offering 20 percent off of your KT TAPE purchase at their online store, www.kttape.com/store/. As always, shoppers will enjoy free shipping on a purchase of two or more products.


KT TAPE® is the leading provider of kinesiology tape in the world. Kinesiology tape, or elastic sports tape, was first developed in Japan in the early 70s in conjunction with taping techniques that could be used to aid in the healing of damaged or injured ligaments, tendons and muscles. At the time, the only taping techniques available used rigid white athletic tape which offered support but limited active range of motion. The newly developed elastic tape provided the desired support for the body and joints without restricting movement, and kinesiology tape was born.


Originally, KT TAPE developed cotton kinesiology tape for everyday use. Original Cotton is great for shorter usage times and is made of 100 percent natural cotton fibers and latex-free adhesive for less skin irritation.


KT TAPE later developed PRO synthetic – a tape specially engineered with synthetic fibers to assist with the strength and elasticity of the tape. This allows the tape to stretch 160 percent, which is more than enough to provide the body full range of motion. These synthetic fibers also maintain their elasticity longer than cotton and provide water resistance due to the breathability of the fabric.


KT TAPE PRO is the very first synthetic tape ever developed. KT TAPE products now range from pre-cut and uncut cotton and synthetic elastic sports tape to a hot/cold compression therapy system.


Whether you are an elite wrestler training for the Olympics or an everyday athlete going for a jog, anyone can enjoy the benefits of pain relief and support that all KT TAPE products offer.
