WaveWear is compression wear with integrated kinesiology taping, recreated with innovative adhesive silicone and applied with precise body-mapping technology.
Have you ever seen professional athletes in action with taping on their muscles? Sports taping (or kinesiology taping) is widely used by athletes, physical therapists and trainers to treat injuries, alleviate pain and support weak zones. Kinesiology tapes are applied strategically to target joints and muscles and, unlike traditional athletic tapes, do not restrict motion as they mimic the elasticity of human skin.
Kinesiology tapes are unique because they are sticky, whereas other athletic tapes are not. Kinesiology tapes gently lift off the skin where they are applied, creating space to increase blood and lymph flow. Kinesiology tapes are known to prevent injuries and induce faster recovery, stabilize joints and support muscles, improve athletic performance, facilitate normal movement patterns, and enhance proprioception.
KINESIOLOGY TAPING
COMPRESSION WEAR
WaveWear is the world's first genuine kinesiology taping compression wear. Using the innovative adhesive silicone technology, WaveWear is the gold standard of built-in kinesiology taping.

Kinesiology taping is designed to prevent injuries and induce faster recovery by reducing the burden on joints and muscles. Unlike compression tape (C tape), which lacks elasticity and adhesiveness, kinesiology tapes have wave patterns and flexibility to mimic the elasticity of the skin, holding muscles and joints well.
Kinesiology tapes, on the other hand, are flexible and sticky. Tapes can be applied to the skin, muscles, fascia, and joints of the body to restore the body's original functions such as blood and lymph circulations, and the method is used for sports and health. The kinesiology taping method was developed in Japan and is now widely used in the United States and Europe.
Improves Blood and Lymph Flow and Reduces Muscle Fatigue
Reduces Muscle Pain
In the U.S. and Europe, kinesiology taping is widely used to help relieve muscle and joint pain, rather than using painkillers or analgesic rubs.
It is known that when kinesiology tape is applied to the painful area, it prevents excessive muscle expansion and contraction altogether to relieve pain. Another argument on how kinesiology tapes reduce pain is that muscle taping reduces pain by distancing the nerve terminals.

Supplements Muscle Function and Prevents Secondary Damage
There is an argument that kinesiology tape's elasticity and wave patterns can stimulate the skin and muscles,preventing secondary damage caused by pain as the tense muscles return to their original state.
WaveWear uses adhesive bio-silicone shaped in the wave pattern to achieve the kinesiology taping effect. Unlike disposable sports tapes, WaveWear is economical and sustainable because it can be washed and reused.
