Elastic therapeutic tape, also called kinesiology tape, Kinesio tape, k-tape, or KT is an elastic cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive that is used with the intent of treating pain and disability from athletic injuries and a variety of other physical disorders. In individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain, research suggests that elastic taping may help relieve pain, but not more than other treatment approaches, and there is no evidence that it can reduce disability in chronic pain cases.

The tape is applied to skin, with the intent to stabilize and support muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints as whole. Applications can also focus on fascia, the superficial lymphatic system, capillary system and nervous system. The type of cut, the amount of stretch, and placement of the tape on the body will vary based on the type of tissues being treated. The tape is applied with the affected muscle in a stretched position, taping from the origin of the muscle to the insertion point. Once applied, it is rubbed to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
