肌内效貼有助于促進身體的自愈功能，同時爲關節和肌肉提供穩定保護，它通過對身體組織施加少量壓力與張力，增強本體感受和減輕疼痛程度，并提高身體機能。肌内效貼的作用類似于壓力衣，把身體多餘的水腫和組織液排除體外。同時，肌内效貼也增加結締組織間隙，從而改善軟組織滑動，增加血液與淋巴液循環。肌内效帖不僅适用于肌肉、肌腱、韌帶和關節損傷的人群，也十分适合期望提高運動表現，促進身體恢複，增強自身本體感覺的人群。

Kinesiotape   facilitates the body’s natural healing process while providing support and   stability to the muscles and joints. By applying skin tension and light   pressure to the muscle and joint it stimulates proprioception, relieves sense   of discomfort, and improves the performance of body function. It works   similar to compression garments to reduce accumulation of edema or swelling   in specific areas of the body or simply as a decompression tool to increase   space between connective tissue layers, which will improve mobility of   soft-tissue and increase lymphatic drainage. Kinesiotape works for anybody   who has a current muscle, tendon, ligament or joint injury or for those who   want to improve performance, recovery, or proprioception.
