TORONTO — SpiderTech recently announced the launch of its pre-cut kinesiology tape that provides drug-free relief for anyone suffering from minor aches and pain. Each application lasts for up to five days.
SpiderTech works in three ways. First, the tape provides enhanced sensory stimulation which essentially disrupts and diminishes signals of pain. Second, micro-circulatory effects improve fluid dynamics and lymphatic drainage to improve circulation and help in the healing of swelling, bruising and oedema. Finally, if the tape is stretched and applied over muscles in a shortened position, it will serve as support and a mechanical barrier to potentially harmful postures and ranges of motion.
The product is now available in stores nationwide, including 1,000 select Walmart locations, the company reported.
