2. I wonder if it's support tape...

Kinesiology taping is one specific mode of treatment that your physical therapist may use. It involves placing strips of special tape on your body in specific directions to help improve your mobility and support your joints, muscles, and tendons.

5. It's kinesiotape

Lots of athletes use it.

I've used it for my elbows, which have nerve damage. It really helps.
