Save Yourself From Sticky Situations




Kinesiology tape is commonly used in sports to support muscles and improve circulation, which may help reduce swelling. However, its effects are surface-level and temporary. The CureWave laser goes beyond these limits, reaching deep tissues with high-intensity light to stimulate cell growth and repair, providing long-lasting relief from inflammation.


Advantages of CureWave over Kinesiology Tape: While kinesiology tape offers some benefits for athletes, CureWave laser’s deep-penetrating, high-intensity light promotes actual tissue healing, which tape alone cannot achieve. This makes it more suitable for addressing chronic pain and inflammation directly. Kinesiology tape can also feel uncomfortable, be difficult to apply correctly and of course the frustration of having tape residue or the lack of sticking with any tape applied to the body.

While cupping and Kinesiology Tape therapy methods can improve circulation and reduce tension, they primarily target superficial tissues.


The CureWave laser, with its high-intensity infrared light, reaches deeper tissues and stimulates cell repair directly at the source, making it more effective for chronic and severe conditions​.
